• Elaine Salmon, a teacher at Peak to Peak Mountain Charter School in Pine Mountain Club, California, was readying her classroom when she left for a moment to make some copies.
KERO-TV reported that when Salmon returned, she found an unexpected visitor in the room: a bear.
Salmon called her husband, who got the bear's attention and held the classroom door open for it to rush back outside.
The animal didn't do any real damage, but the school plans to change the door handles, since a bear was able to maneuver the latch.
The bear is persistent: Salmon said it came back again. Maybe it was just looking for a fish? [KERO, 8/9/2024]
