Video: 'Larry' the Bear Swims in Monrovia Pool

Two teenage sisters captured this footage of a bear taking a dip in their backyard pool last week.

His name is Larry, and he's a pretty good swimmer.

A bear made itself at home in a Monrovia pool last week, paddling around as two startled teenage sisters--Rachel and Valerie Gasparini--shot this video, according to CBS News.

The teens watched from a safe distance and didn't bother calling 911, they told KTLA.

"It wasn't any making a ruckus or it wasn't like destroying things in our backyard, so we didn't really feel the need to call anybody," Valerie explained to KTLA.
