DNA evidence? ROTFLMAO

quote:
A massive and notoriously mischievous black bear has been captured after more than a year on the run following a string of break-ins in California.

The 500lbs (227kg) bear, known to fans as Hank the Tank, is believed to have broken into 21 homes in the Lake Tahoe area since 2022.

Hank - who is actually a female bear registered as 64F - will be moved to a sanctuary in Colorado.

Her three cubs may be transferred to a facility in California's Sonoma County.

In a statement released on Friday, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) said that biologists had "safely immobilised" the bear, who had been linked to 21 break-ins by DNA evidence.

this is pretty much in my backyard so it’s been a fun story to follow. some of the ways the Bears have broken into places are both entertaining and terrifying..

We have bears in my neighborhood in Santa Fe. So far, they've stuck to unprotected trash cans.

It does give one pause (paws) when bringing the bins down a very long driveway in the early morning before pickup.

Our Lake Tahoe bears are smarter than your average bear.

Apparently the bear also sh*ts in the house.

I'm sure that's the DNA source.
