Overview
- CDFW spokesperson Cort Klopping confirmed that Yellow 2120 is no longer under the home and that the access point has been secured.
- The roughly 550-pound male had occupied the crawlspace beneath Ken Johnson’s Altadena residence since late November.
- Department biologists attempted a capture in mid-December but inadvertently trapped a different bear.
- The same bear was previously lured from another local crawlspace and relocated to the Angeles National Forest after the Eaton Fire.
- Officials urge residents to harden crawlspace barriers and limit attractants by timing trash set-outs and bringing pet food and bird feeders indoors, noting statewide black bear numbers have increased.
