California man's security cameras record bear bathing in koi pond

OAKHURST, Calif., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- A California man who his back yard was in disarray checked security cameras and discovered something unexpected: A black bear had taken a bath in koi pond.

Bob Bramley of Oakhurst said he was confused Wednesday when he noticed many objects in his back yard had been moved, so he checked the footage from his security cameras.

"I have seen deer drink here quite a bit and at first that's what I was thinking, but quickly I realized, it was a bear," Bramley told KMPH-TV.

Bramley posted a pair of videos to Facebook showing the bear taking a relaxed bath in his backyard koi pond while enjoying a snack from the adjacent garden.

"He just lazily puts his head on the rock and is munching on the plants," Bramley said.
