"As soon as he moved in, he started hearing babies crying under his floorboards. The renter called the group to help check on the noises he was hearing, and they soon confirmed it was Rose and her new cubs. The renter is now gearing up to spend the rest of the winter with his four furry roommates."
"Although the nonprofit will help residents remove bears from crawl spaces - a location that has become increasingly enticing for hibernating bears - after cubs are born, they need to stay in a warm, safe place to survive. Bryant expects the family will remain in the crawl space until about April."
"The cameras help the nonprofit ensure that the mama and cubs are safe and not too close to wires or stuck in netting, both situations they've dealt with. But they also help make sure the bears don't do too much damage to the home, such as breaking pipes."
A renter in Lake Tahoe discovered a black bear named Rose and her newborn cubs living in his cabin's crawl space during winter hibernation. BEAR League, a local nonprofit, confirmed the presence of the cubs after the renter heard crying sounds beneath his floorboards. Rather than removing the family, the renter chose to coexist with them through the winter months, even naming the cubs Echo, Oakley, and Storm. BEAR League installed monitoring cameras to ensure the safety of both the bear family and the home, protecting them from hazards like exposed wires and netting. The bears are expected to remain in the crawl space until approximately April when they emerge from hibernation.
