Bear goes poolside

A bear, apparently called Bella, found the pool this week. She looks very content sitting on the steps while enjoying the sun and dipping her head under.

Bella discovered the pool this week. This was her first visit. I love the way she dunks her whole head. It’s officially the best time of the year! Bears playing in the pool was the highlight of last year. It’s going to be a fun summer. #wildlife #animal #blackbears #bears #california #bearsoftiktok #animals #bear #bearbythepool #pool #poolday #summer #cuteanimals
