Since the summer season, Hank the Tank, a black bear has reported to have made a 500-pound "nuisance of himself" in California's South Lake Tahoe, breaking into over two dozen homes in search of food and causing a trail of damage in the place.
In February there had been calls about a small black bear exhibiting similarly friendlier behavior, not to mention fearless around humans, which was reported to have shown up in Pollock Pines in El Dorado County.
