A Sierra Madre couple has few complaints about the reclusive tenant who moved in a few weeks ago.
They’ve captured several photos on a motion-activated camera installed by California Fish and Wildlife agents that show what appears to be the face of an older large black bear.
“We would wait for the bear to leave the crawlspace,” said Kevin Howells, of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
About half of the state’s bear population can be found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and areas to the north and west.
Only an estimated 10 percent of the black bear population inhabits central western and southwestern California.
