A San Luis Obispo resident said he spotted a young bear resting in a tree near his backyard on Viewmont Street. He said it looked to be 3 years old, and it spent over 5 hours in the tree on Sunday.
The resident said he called the non-emergency police line and notified neighbors. A wildfire responder went to the house and advised people to leave it alone.
The bear eventually climbed down on its own and ran off.
