The video shows a mother of a black bear swimming in with her three babies on a crowded beach. According to weather forecasters, the temperature reached 48 ° C.

Some believe that the bears were trying to escape the heat. However, locals point out that bears are not as afraid of people as many think.

Throughout the heatwave, there have been reports of animals exposed to record temperatures in the region. The habitat has been affected by forest fires, droughts and other environmental impacts.

The conversation about the bear family was sparked by a Twitter user who wrote: “You understand how hot this bear must have been to bring her cubs next to all these people. The woman who filmed the bears swimming said the people on the beach were "shocked" to see them there.

Lola Saffi replied: “Poor mother bear. She and her poor cubs had to roast. "

“The amazing part is not that they are going to go swimming. Of course, bears swim all the time, - another person wrote. “The most amazing thing is that this bear brought out her cubs when people were nearby. Bears are known for their ability to protect and care for their young, especially their mothers. Being around people is a huge risk.”

However, local residents reported that this is quite normal.

“I live in Lake Tahoe, so it’s not weird for us. We meet bears at my house at least once a week. Moreover, I walk the dogs twice a day. They don't scare people. Yes, it’s hot now, but it’s quite normal to see bears swimming,” a netizen wrote in response.

“I live in Lake Tahoe. Bears have long been accustomed to people, since I see them quite often on bicycle rides,” another resident supported him.

However, one can agree with how strange it is to see a bear on a beach crowded with people. Jennifer Watkins said, "We were all a little shocked by the bears."

Local law enforcement officials said it was "very dangerous" to be so close to the bears.

“We're on their territory when we go into the Foothills and Sierra Nevada,” said Lt. Nelson Resendez with the Placer County Sheriff's Office. “Don’t feed them, don’t provoke them and obviously don’t get close to them, respect their space.”

There have been reports of black bears suffering from encephalitis (a brain disorder). This is a condition that causes the animal to lose vigilance in the vicinity of humans. It is reported that since March 2020, the disease has been diagnosed in four bears. This virus also occurs in humans.

Local authorities such as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Placer County Sheriff's Office are monitoring the situation and are working to address the problem of bears entering high-population density areas.
