Black Bear Enjoys Scratch in Lake Tahoe Pond
A male black bear was seen relaxing in a pond surrounded by foliage in the Sierra Nevada mountains in late October, footage shows.
This video was filmed by Toogee Sielsch, who said it was filmed using a trail camera while in South Lake Tahoe on October 30. It shows the bear taking a dip in a pond and scratching itself with a large branch.
Sielsch often films local wildlife, particularly South Lake Tahoe’s “urbanized black bear population,” and shares these videos to his Instagram account. Credit: Toogee Sielsch via Storyful
