Police officers in Naples Florida answered an emergency call from someone who saw a bear sleeping inside of an under construction lobby. The Naples Police Department then contacted officials with the Florida Fish And Wildlife Commission to safely remove the black bear from the premises safely and find a safer place for the bear to roam around safely. From where the bear came from before taking a nap inside of the construction site is anyone's guess other than the former homes of bears are being taken away by humans in the name of progress.

Yes George Kicking a poor Bear out of his home in the name of progress is not a good thing I hope that the Bear was taken to a nice place where he can nap in peace

Animal control officials are warning people that kicking bears of the woods will come back to haunt humans.

You are right since the animals will use our homes as their new home as payback according to animal control officials.

That's unusual..I didn't think he would want to sleep indoors there.

I am amazed that the bear did take a snooze inside of a construction site myself.

Probably the bear feels hot and want some shade while sleeping

Most likely what happened since the weather in Florida can be as humid as is it in Louisiana in the summer.

Maybe the bear was just sleeping on the job, like the other workers were, and had come to try to find shelter, and a free meal, from the other workers.
