YUCCA VALLEY, Calif. (KESQ) A brown bear was caught on camera wandering through a Yucca Valley neighborhood Wednesday evening, startling residents and prompting renewed reminders about desert wildlife.<\/p>\n
Jamie Norcutt and his fianc\u00e9 were sleeping until a camera alert woke them up around 2:30 in the morning.<\/p>\n
“I looked at the live view and I saw that there is a bear on the front porch. . .grabbing a bag of salmon dog food,” Norcutt explained.” <\/p>\n
On the camera footage you can see the bear starting to walk off until Norcutt hops on the ring camera. <\/p>\n
“I proceeded to yell at him and tell him no, don’t take the food, and he looked back and stopped.” <\/p>\n
The bear dropped the bag and disappeared into the night possibly toward the canyon across the street, Norcutt said. <\/p>\n
Nobody was hurt and the bear hasn’t come back, but it’s a furry reminder the desert isn’t just ours. <\/p>\n
Wildlife officials recommend locking up food, bringing in pet bowls, and securing trash cans. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"YUCCA VALLEY, Calif.
