South Lake Tahoe residents are used to wildlife encounters, but this one was unusual. A local man discovered a mother bear and her cub inside his car. "I was just walking up to the vehicle when suddenly, HONK!" the man recounted, describing his surprise. The cub, apparently playing with the steering wheel, accidentally activated the horn. The incident, captured on video, highlights the increasing frequency of such interactions and the importance of coexisting peacefully with wildlife.
