A California black bear visited a residential property on Canyon Crest Drive on Saturday and left with a package of the Nabisco treat.
Whether it’s bears, coyotes or mountain lions, there is a sense in many of L.A.'s hillside communities that something four-legged and feral lurks just beyond the asphalt and attached garages. And on Canyon Crest Drive in Monrovia, the residents know that they live in bear country. Their street is frequented by California black bears coming down from the San Gabriel Mountains to scavenge for food. And one apparently has a particular craving: Oreos.
They may not be grizzlies — one hasn't been seen in California in 100 years — but black bears aren't always cute and cuddly. Hikers encountering a bear should avoid eye contact, make noise and back away slowly — while also making themselves look bigger, the state's fish and wildlife department counsels. 'Most black bear 'attacks' are defensive actions if the animal is protecting cubs, becomes startled or scared,' the agency notes.
