News - Wildlife experts have removed a bear that had been residing for a long time in a crawlspace in California.

After a two-month saga, Yellow 2120, the bear who took refuge under Ken Johnson's Altadena home, has been successfully and swiftly relocated. It first appeared under the California residence around Thanksgiving, making a home in the crawlspace below the kitchen. The bear, known for being elusive, managed to evade several removal attempts by state wildlife officials before encountering The Bear League, a nonprofit renowned for its expertise in managing bear encounters. The house, repeatedly visited by the persistent bear, experienced increased activity as the animal roamed undisturbed beneath its floorboards. Faced with unsettling noises from below, Johnson grew increasingly concerned about his unwanted tenant. The situation was on the brink of leading to potential legal action against the California Department of Fish and Wildlife after their efforts failed to show results. Then came The Bear League, a seasoned group of animal rescuers from Lake Tahoe, bringing a blend of experience and innovative strategies. Their solution involved an electrified doormat, a unique deterrent tactic that roused Yellow 2120 from its hibernation-like sleep, as the bear's cozy refuge was firmly sealed off. Witnessing the process firsthand, Johnson felt a mix of relief and amazement at the operation's efficiency. The bear's removal took less than ten minutes, a testament to the expertise of The Bear League's professionals. While the immediate issue was resolved, the fate of Yellow 2120 remains a mystery as it explores the Californian wilderness, far from the home's foundations but forever a part of its history.
