Dec. 2 (UPI) -- A Florida man who was alerted to the presence of a bear in his neighborhood discovered the animal taking a nap outside his front door.

Chuck Robbins of Heathrow said he had heard there was a bear in his neighborhood and went out to try to take photos or video of the animal, but he couldn't locate the bear went home.

Robbins said a neighbor contacted him later in the evening to tell him there was a large bear in his yard.

The resident said he looked out a window and discovered the bear was on his porch, sleeping right in front of his door.

"It was amazing. I just walked out, and it was like right there in front of me and so close," Robbins told WOFL-TV.

A bear previously paid a visit to a Nevada family's yard earlier this week. Dave Lester of Zephyr Cove shared video showing the bear destroying the inflatable Rudolph decoration.

Gentle Ben was not so gentle....
Little known story was that Clint Howard was eaten by the bear at the end of the 1st season. The parents were told by the studio that they had a orphan boy that could replace for the remaining seasons if they agreed to take the boy in. They agreed as the studio was paying good money and the father could appear on the show. They never did tell Ron Howard as he was off making the Andy Griffith show. If he said anything they would explain the change as a growth spurt. Beside Ron never liked Clint much.... : )
