Bear Finds Home In Tree Of Connecticut Backyard

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

The only concern is when he ends hibernation. They're very hungry and cranky (hangry?) then and can be dangerous. When I was kid in the rural mountains of British Columbia, we were all taught to be especially wary of bears in the springtime. But if she can get wildlife control to help with the bear at that point, I agree: leave him be for now.

[@yenxion6516]

No, not a good idea. When hibernation ends the bear would be really hungry so it would probably go through your trash or even break into someone house. It would probably be a lot happier living away from people.

[@nuttybar9]

@@yenxion6516 Somebody probably fed it ,And that's why it isn't bothered by humans.

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

@@yenxion6516 It could do worse than break into your house. They're most likely to get violent in two situations: when they're hungry after hibernation, and when a mama feels that her cubs are in danger. We were always told never to get between a mama and her cubs. I was always afraid I'd do so without knowing I'd done it.

[@dlite6999]

The bear should be left to hibernate for the winter

Typo. I meant blessed me with his presence.

[@maxinewest4096]

[@nolamonahan8764]

I understand the concern because of the children but he doesn't seem to want to hurt anyone or seem hostile . As long as he's not starving I doubt he'd pose a threat. So adorable

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

Will that be true when winter is over and bears de-hibernate, very hungry?

[@lisam4503]

If I owned the property, I would consider it a blessing the bear chose to grace my yard with its presence. I have Coyotes and all sorts of wildlife come onto our property. I say our property because it was theirs before I got here. We can share.

LET HIM BE

[@tishasian4314]

As long as that bear is not bothering anybody I would suggest you not bother the bear leave the bear alone and let him hibernate in his tree that he picked unless he becomes dangerous leave him alone. Just be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on your children it's common sense and it's easy there's no reason to disrupt this bear unless he is bothering people

[@tekkie740]

What do you say about the fact that you won’t know he dangerous until he mauls someone , these residents probably can’t even leave their homes at night , how about you come take it and place it in your backyard since you love it so much

[@therelaxationstation5258]

Poor baby.. He’s a sweetheart. Don’t bother him and he won’t bother you.

[@michaelversace456]

Yeah not with so many kids around. Too many would mess with the bear. Kids would throw rocks and the animal will retaliate resulting in it getting destroyed. He needs to find a better spot.

Awww poor thing he looks sad and probably hungry ! They have nowhere to go with so many homes , no food sources except for trash ! No family Hopefully they can relocate him where there are more bears more creeks for fishing ! Further up north ! Thank you for this story ! 🙏🏾♥️

[@LindsayDaly]

I love him! He can come live in our trees

[@newyorknight]

I wish all bears were like Winnie-the-pooh🍯 I hope everyone in the neighborhood will be safe. Have a Merry Christmas everyone 🌲☃️

[@minoltaaraya]

I’m torn. As an animal lover (vegan) how could you not just want to keep that big sleepy face around?! But as someone who is very active outdoors, camping and hiking and such - this IS dangerous in a community. Black bears are very unlikely to initiate an attack on humans but that doesn’t mean someone won’t get hurt, they are not pets. If the bear thinks the tree is his, then it would stand to reason that he may act defensively if someone gets too close or they deem them as a threat and how close is too close in a residential area? They are incredibly intelligent and agile, can run faster than dogs (yes up and downhill) and can climb tress, also they are omnivores so it’s not all honey and berries. And if Mr. Black Bear decided to hibernate there, he could stay for months which would be fine unless someone woke him early, then he would not have the energy to make it through winter until more food and the frost is gone. So not best for him either. 🐻❤️

[@linecarobrodnik1074]

The bear seems rather peaceful to me and the neighbours and houseowners don't seem to be too close for his taste, so it doesn't seem too difficult to just stay away far enough from the tree and the bear to avoid provocation. There is no need to get any closer to the tree the way I see it. And once the bear falls asleep he'll be even less of a threat. In spring he'll leave eventually. You have to be careful, yes, but I think the cohabitation is feasible.

[@nc3826]

[@bambooblue74]

Why are they having him removed? If he’s not bothering them, why intervene? Here humans go playing god again with nature. If they even spent one moment learning about hibernation, they’d see this bear is very little danger to them. Driving in your car is more dangerous.

[@Omni0404]

Well this is America and we have a God given right to sue anybody for anything. If the city is aware of the bear and the bear harms anybody they would be on the business end of a huge lawsuit for choosing to let it be. (That being said I love the bear and would keep it a secret if it was living in my tree.)

[@Bellz972]

Just incase, like the lady said there's kids in the area too. If it ends up in conflict with humans there's a high chance it's going to get shot. And that can be avoided so far.

[@tammiebroggins]

[@marthaguidry1131]

He is named "Keebler" as Keebler elves are supposed to be in neighborhood trees, not bears! :-). DEEP will not relocate him which was stated on 12/9. Someone stated the houses near him look new, but our house was built in 1937 so we are in an "older" neighborhood - granted bears likely owned the turf before that time.

[@captainjaneway80]

Awe bearzy-puff! They best let you be 💕

[@Streghamay]

Dangerous situation. That bear is going to be very hungry when he wakes up from hibernation, making it bad for neighborhood pets and people alike. It's not cute, or funny, or sweet. It's a wild animal in a residential neighborhood. The bear is in just as much danger as the residents in the neighborhood.

[@andresalaf]

When the bear wakes up his systems are slow, they start eating easy digestive food and not very much to give their digestive system working again.

As was obvious, it wasn't even concerned with the drone buzzing in its face, & the neighbor stated she did yard work as the bear watched, but made no effort to leave the tree.

Don’t want anything bad to happen to the bear 🙏 I'm thinking it will be rehoused since it’s an active neighborhood + the safety of others! It’s so cute! I pray the location it moves to is even better & the workers have the wisdom & guidance to move the bear safely and not harm it :’) “God defines true religion this way: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world” (James 1:27). In other words, the system of worshiping God is not a matter of observing rites and rituals; rather, it involves practical help for those in need and living a pure life, separated from the sin of the world.” “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” - John 3:16 NLT 🫶 Through Christ, we are forgiven! None of us are perfect, we all make mistakes daily. BUT God is perfect & so loving! He gave us the gift of salvation! God is a good & forgiving father who accepts those who accept Him. God bless 💗 Call upon Him & He will answer you. Give it a try.
