It’s hard to bear this.

A man in Altadena, California has had his life upended by a 550-pound black bear.

For a month, now, the massive beast has been living underneath his home.

Despite multiple attempts to remove it, the ‘squatter’ remains there, and now the homeowner weighs taking legal action – against the authorities, not the bear.

CBS News reported:

“’I thought this would be over by now’, Ken Johnson told CBS News.

Since Thanksgiving week, Johnson has caught the bear on security camera footage roaming around his property and squeezing into the crawlspace underneath his house. Since he doesn’t have a dog, Johnson said he tried pumping barking sounds into the crawl space to try to scare off the bear, but it wouldn’t budge.”

Johnson can hear the bear underneath his house, and he’s worried it may launch into his living room through the floor.

“Johnson has alerted the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which set up more cameras and has tried, unsuccessfully, to lure the bear out. Several weeks ago, the department set up a trap: a large metal cage sprayed with cherry and caramel scents. A bear was found inside it on Dec. 16, but officials said it was the wrong bear.

‘People talk about feeling humbled. This is very humbling’, Johnson said. ‘There’s a bear under my house, and there’s nothing I can do about it!’”
