Video Shows Juvenile Black Bears Enter Antuna’s Monterrey Home, Make Off With Backpack

Officials say urban bear sightings in Nuevo León are increasingly common, prompting reminders to keep gates closed.

Overview

  • At least four juvenile black bears entered the front of Tigres forward Uriel Antuna’s Monterrey-area residence through an open gate and removed a backpack containing clothing.
  • After crossing the street, the animals examined the bag and departed; one later tried to return but the closed gate prevented reentry, and no injuries were reported.
  • The encounter was recorded and posted on social media by Antuna’s wife, Penélope García, which helped the clip spread widely.
  • Observers noted one bear wearing a collar and an ear tag, suggesting it may be tracked or was previously handled by wildlife authorities.
  • Environmental authorities and local outlets cite more frequent bear activity near the Sierra de Nuevo León and urge residents to secure accesses and remove potential attractants.
