Video from a Monrovia homeowner captured a mama bear dive into a backyard pool northeast of Los Angeles as her two curious but cautious cubs watched.at about noon Monday as temperatures warmed into the 70s in parts of Southern California. The homeowner, who was home for lunch, said bear visits are not unusual in the community near Angeles National Forest."We tend to get lots of wildlife crossing through here," Ricky Martinez told NBCLA.
Black bears, which can have different color coats, like to feed on plants, insects, nuts, berries and whatever else they think of as edible -- such as the contents of trash bins. If food is scarce in their natural habitat, bears are likely to forage elsewhere, bringing them into Southern California foothill neighborhoods.
Black bears, recognized by their small, narrow heads and small ears, have coats that range in color from tan or brown to black. Females grow up to about 200 pounds and males can be a hefty 350 pounds with some giants weighing in at more than 600 pounds.
