California bear cools off in a pool before being taken home, police say

A bear in California who wandered around a Los Angeles neighborhood on Tuesday and went swimming in a pool has been “safely returned back to his home,” police said.

After being sighted in Granada Hills and getting caught on camera testing the waters in someone’s backyard pool, the furry creature was shot with a tranquilizer gun, Fox 11 Los Angeles reported. The bear was reportedly set to be returned to the wild after getting struck by the dart.

Police seized the moment to caution residents on the potential dangers of bears, while also quipping about hot temperatures in the area.

“We can’t fault this furry guy for wanting to take a dip in this Los Angeles heat, however we are happy to report he was safely returned back to his home,” the LAPD tweeted. “As cute as he looks, remember, he’s a bear so keep away & call the authorities.”

Police had advised people earlier in the day to remain inside after the bear was first noticed in the residential area.

Kirk Douglas remarkably celebrates his 102nd birthday on December 9, 2018. The three-time Oscar nominee appeared in dozens of movies in a career that spanned decades. But how many of those titles are classics? In honor of his birthday, let’s take a look back at 15 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best. Born in 1916, Douglas kicked off his acting career after serving in the Navy during WWII. He made his film debut with a small role in “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers” (1946). His first Oscar nomination as Best Actor came just three years later for Mark Robson ‘s boxing drama “Champion” (1949). He earned two more Oscar bids working with director Vincent Minnelli , first for the Hollywood melodrama “The Bad and the Beautiful” (1952) and again for the Vincent Van Gogh biopic “Lust for Life” (1956). The latter film brought him victories at the Golden Globes and New York Film Critics Circle. SEE Honorary Oscars: Full gallery of acting recipients inc...

Call of Duty WW2

Call of Duty WW2 Call of Duty : WWII pre-review Many of us are old enough to remember a time when the idea of a first-person shooter set during World War II seemed overdone to the point of parody. The first three Call of Duty releases took place during World War II, breaking from the tradition with 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare . Call of Duty: WWII , developer Sledghammer Games’ second full release in the franchise, brings us back to that historic conflict as the series begins to eat its own tail on modern hardware. Or maybe this could be seen as a sort of reboot. Call of Duty: WWII packs in the same ridiculous amount of things to do as past games in the series with a full single-player campaign, many options for multiplayer including the asymmetrical War game mode , the new Headquarters social hub and of cours...
