Guy comes back from dinner in South Lake Tahoe, finds a 400 pound bear raiding his kitchen.

Apparently bears in Tahoe have learned how to open sliding glass doors, and this one just let herself right in.

 Wildlife officials say the bear weighed as much as 400 to 500 pounds. The man, who has not been identified, told law enforcement officials that the bear charged at him, trying to swiping at him with her arm, huffing and growling. He said that, within a moment, the bear was on top of him. He said the bear had her mouth on his arm, said Capt. Patrick Foy of California Fish and Wildlife’s Law Enforcement Division.

“He had a pistol in his other hand,” Foy said, “and shot [the bear] in the head at point blank range.”

The bear didn't make it.

The guy is ok.

Here's a bear one of the daughter's saw in Tahoe last year.  Fat and happy and tagged.
