What would you do when you have an unexpected visitor in the middle of the night? Will you let him/her in or offer a drink or snack? Check out this one Naples, Florida household where a black bear wandered around the neighborhood and paid them a visit!
The surprise encounter was captured by the doorbell’s camera.
As the black bear walks up to the house’s front door, it sniffed and knocked off the Christmas decors near the door.
Poor little elves, they got pushed away and dragged to the floor! Maybe the bear silently said, “Yay! The coast is clear!”
Hello, anybody home?
After which, the bear found its way to the doorbell. The bear pushed its nose to the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door, hopefully. Seems that the bear is praying that the family would let him in and have some midnight snacks to keep the bear energized and warm!
The homeowner was surprised to have a bear visitor at this hour!
Surely the family got surprised to have the bear ringing the doorbell and patiently waiting for them to welcome the bear in their humble abode.
“Bear, go away.”
The homeowner said this line several times to the black bear via the doorbell’s intercom. The bear just looked at the camera as if it’s pleading to give this poor animal a chance, but the family insisted to scare the bear off by letting it go away.
Poor bear, better luck next time.
The bear seemed to understand what the homeowner wants and slowly left the house. Looks like this poor little bear was sad that its charm didn’t work.
Maybe all the bear wanted is some honey jar like Winnie the Pooh. Or, maybe he wanted to ask if Goldilocks is there.
Fall is usually bear season.
When autumn or fall comes, bears are usually out and about in preparation for the cold days, a.k.a winter, especially in Northern and Central Florida. Animals like bears are actively searching and scouting for food.
According to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWWC), a bear needs to have at most 20,000 calories in a day during this season. That’s why they are actively in search of food and sometimes resort to the least resistant modes. An example of this is scavenging for food sources in residential neighborhoods.
It is illegal in Florida to intentionally feed bears and attract bears to have human-bear conflicts
Residents should be aware that it’s not allowed to feed the bears or attract the bears who are heading to the residential areas for food. As much as possible, state officials highly encourage its residents to secure their garbage in a bear-resistant container, feed pets indoors or leave the pet dishes clean, remove wildlife feeders, and the likes.
If you see or suspect that someone is feeding or attracting bears, call the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 1-888-404-FWCC (3922).
