Daytona Beach Home Owner Surprised When Bear Camps Out In His Hammock

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -

A large black bear is getting attention from around the world after he was spotted hanging out in a hammock behind a Daytona Beach home.

Rafael Torres was taking out the trash at his home in the Pebble Creek subdivision off of Williamson Boulevard when he noticed something had gone through his trash.

Torres says that's when he grabbed his camera and found the bear climbing into the hammock of his neighbor's home to relax.

Ranger Smith: Bears are supposed to avoid people, not run around stealing their food!
Yogi Bear: I agree, sir. That's why Boo-Boo and I would never disturb family pic-a-nics.

From there to here, and here to there
The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair! (or the hammock)

Just for fun...

The Bear and the Maiden Fair

A bear there was
a bear, a bear
all black and brown
and covered with hair

Oh come they said
oh come to the fair
the fair? said he
but I'm a bear
all black and brown
and covered in hair!

And down the road
from here to there
from here, to there
three boys, a goat
and a dancing bear
they danced and spun
all the way to the fair!

Oh, sweet she was
and pure and fair
the maid with honey
in her hair, her hair
the maid with honey
in her hair

The bear smelled the scent
on the summer air
the bear, the bear
all black and brown
and covered with hair
he smelled the scent
on the summer air
he sniffed and roared
and smelled it there
honey on the summer air

Oh I'm a maid
and I'm pure and fair
I'll never dance
with a hairy bear
a bear, a bear
I'll never dance
with a hairy bear

The bear, the bear
lifted her high
into the air
the bear, the bear

I called for a knight
but you're a bear
a bear, a bear
all black and brown
and covered in hair

She kicked and wailed
the maid so fair
but he licked the honey
from her hair
her hair, her hair
he licked the honey
from her hair

Then she sighed and squealed
and kicked the air
she sang: my bear so fair
and off they went
the bear, the bear
and the maiden fair
