Alan Zorthian at the Zorthian Ranch reports to the newsgroups that a large brown bear was spotted tucking into a refrigerator full of food last night:
A woman, who lives on the ranch heard a noise outside at about 9:00
PM. She shined her little light outside and saw two eyes looking at
her. She called me and said she thought the mountain lion was outside
her place. I went over with my spotlight and we looked down in the
canyon behind her place and indeed saw two eyes which were attached
to a fairly large bear. He had dragged a small refrigerator that she
had left outside, with some food in it, down into the canyon and was
busy consuming the contents. He ambled off after about 5 minutes of
looking at us.This canyon runs around behind the ranch and is the extension of the
canyon that Alzada road runs along. Y’all may be seeing Mr. Bear
later tonight.Alan Zorthian
