A large black bear who is believed to be a notorious bandit and a hungry, uninvited houseguest was apprehended by wildlife biologists on Friday.
Authorities in the town of South Lake Tahoe, Calif., have been on the lookout for exceptionally large animals since February 2022, after they reported that one single, male bear had been the cause of "152 reports of conflict behavior," including 28 home break-ins. They referred to the animal as "Hank the Tank," setting off the internet's affection.
