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.

Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0 RECAP as Eden Hazard wins FA Cup for Blues at Wembley The Belgian was hauled down by Phil Jones and picked himself up to convert the penalty in what could be Antonio Conte's final match in charge Eden Hazard fired  Chelsea  to FA Cup glory against  Manchester United  as Antonio Conte's expected farewell ended with a memorable triumph against old foe Jose Mourinho. The 137th FA Cup final - and first utilising a video assistant referee - was not as cagey as some had feared but was hardly a rip-roaring affair as the Blues looked to atone for last season's shock finale defeat and a tepid Premier League title defence.

Many had fancied United to win a record-equalling 1...

According to a  Disney press release , three new restaurants inside the resort’s original park have added alcohol to their menus, meaning that those over the age of 21 can now drink at  all  table-service establishments on the premises. This announcement comes six years after the first Magic Kingdom eatery to serve beer and wine, Be Our Guest, opened in 2012. Prior to that, the park had a strict no-alcohol policy since its opening in 1971 as part of Walt Disney’s original vision to create a family-friendly experience.
