Wandering bear attracts a crowd
MONROVIA, Calif. (AP)
A bear has stirred commotion as it wanders a Los Angeles foothill suburb. The bear sluggishly ambled along streets and into backyards early Friday in Monrovia, which sits on the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains.
The Monrovia Police Department says officers are monitoring the situation and state Department of Fish and Wildlife personnel have been summoned.
It's believed to be the same bear seen a day earlier in Monovia, where it's not uncommon for animals to wander out of the forest above the city.
The city's bear safety web page notes bears emerge from winter dens when the weather warms.
