A good, strong case oochl thank you sure coming up next, extraordinary video from underneath a Mountain Home where a bear has been hibernating. This next story come was a warning. Dont try without help from experts were talking about people who allow bears to hibernate under their homes, it happens around lake tahoe. This year the drought has given easier access to crawl space but dont try to evict. Youll see spending the winter underneath this cabin. Our guess is that were upwards of 100 bears every winter. Ann is director of the bear league, a nonprofit helping bears, and people, learn to co exist the more we enkroecht more ann believes we have to learn how to share habitat serious conflicts happen in summer where people use fun. Many tahoe homes are emany winter and people dont know a bear is there people will hear them they roll around and snore. Trained volunteers come out to houses to help. Usually homeowners want bears out. So after preparation the bear is evicted. As soon as the bear is out openings to the crawl space are sealed so it cant come back. But this can be hard on a bear suddenly homeless. A lot of people feel bad that it was their fault the bear is there they left the door open or whatever. Some people will let the bear stay with help of expert volunteers. First, they examine the area under the house. To make sure the bear cant damage anything or get into the house the location of the houses and names of the owners are secret to protect bear and the people. So we were not able to talk with homeowners but the bear league checks on the bears all winter. This time, ann letting a producer go along. I just go in to the location, crawl underneath. For a short time just shine the light. Make sure hes okay and still in the same place. Doesnt seem irritated. And still in hibernation. This adult male around 600 pounds oochl do you see that . He sees ann but is groggy and will go back to sleep. Ann has done this hundreds of times. You should not. I know what im doing. For regular citizens to try to get that close to a bear would be foolish. This cub gives you an idea of why ann dead indicated her life to helping two years ago a cub and mother on the first day emerging from the den under a house the human family was home when the cub was born. Underneath a parlor they watch television, they heard him cry. The mother kept her cub until he was months old. And soon after, they disappeared into the forest. We have never had a case in hundreds of bears that bears have slept under homes never a case of anyone being hurt like i said most of the time people dont know theyre there. Now, its legal to let a bear hibernate but illegal to feed a bear or lure one on to your property. We have a link. Isnt that maze something yes. Just hanging out. Lets get another check of the forecast. Here is a time lapse view. This afternoon, east bay hills looking at western sky, beautiful sky there. Sun, dark clouds moving over the bay. Here is a look at doppler seven hd. You can see movement so we may get showers and tomorrow state wide, dry snowfall in the sierra. Just inches more than a dusting but not major snowfall. Here in the bay area niez into afternoon. Here is the accuweather forecast. Our next chance of rain sunday. This looks like just a slight chance of rain maybe, mainly near the coast.
