Bears like to relax, too

Is there a better place to relax than a backyard pool? Not for this young bear in Washington State (from 11Alive):

This is the time of year when bears leave the forest in Washington state and move into neighborhoods looking for food.

The cub barely noticed the nearby fruit trees and took the plunge. He lumbered out of the pool, shook himself off and made his way back into the woods.

The pool owner drained the pool the next day, and no one has seen neither hide nor hair of the bear since.

I bet they needed some pool maintenance in Greenwood, IN. after that incident. I bet those bears put some holes in that pool. Hopefully it just needed patches.
