A 'friendly' bear has become a celebrity after visiting the same neighbourhood every year to use the residents' pools and trampolines. The large black bear, accompanied by her cubs, has been visiting a community in Farmington, Connecticut, America, every summer for the last six years.
The neighbourhood has become so accustom to her that they let the furry family share their food. Michael Costello, who lives near Blueberry Lane in Farmington, said: "She comes down every year. One mama bear and her cubs.
"I know it's the same bear because she's double-tagged. It's one mama bear who's raised several generations of cubs. She has four cubs this year."
