550-pound bear finally evicted from California home after bizarre strategy ends monthlong ordeal

A 550-pound bear that had been living beneath a California man’s home for over a month has finally left, after a bizarre strategy ended a long streak of failed removal attempts by state officials.

The male black bear was reportedly removed from the crawl space Tuesday after bear-removal experts from Tahoe traveled to the Altadena home. One team member crawled inside and fired paintballs filled with vegetable oil, wildlife organization BEAR League told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
