VIDEO: Bear cools off in Pepperell koi pond
PEPPERELL - Everyone is looking to beat the heat during the recent hot stretch - even the bears.
Mark in Pepperell captured video Wednesday morning of a black bear taking a refreshing dip in a backyard koi pond.
The bear stayed in the pond for about a minute and did not appear to eat any koi for breakfast.
It's been an active black bear season - over the weekend in Tewksbury, animal control asked residents to temporarily remove bird feeders and other food sources for bears after one was spotted on Deering Drive.
