Bear Takes Dip at Busy Beach in South Lake Tahoe

A large black bear was seen strolling on a busy California beach and taking a dip in Lake Tahoe in late August, as onlookers https://newswire.storyful.com/story/312372 kept their distance . Video captured by Lisa Martin shows the bear swimming near the shore. https://newswire.storyful.com/story/312372 Other footage verified by Storyful shows people watching in fascination as the bear walks down the beach. Black bears, which are the only bear species living in California, can range in color from black to cinnamon or blond, according to the https://wildlife.ca.gov/HWC/Black-Bears California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The large mammals may cause concern as they become habituated and lose their fear of humans. CDFW advised anyone who may encounter a bear to keep a safe distance, not run or make eye contact, and let the bear leave on its own. (Footage by Lisa Martin/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
