The 550-pound bear that was found hiding out in a New Jersey basement had been living there for weeks.
CBS2’s Kathryn Brown spoke to the bear’s “landlord” on Thursday.
Frank Annacone, 85, never imagined that a bear would move in with him.
“I could have ended up lunch for that big guy,” he said, still expressing disbelief.

The bear was eventually caught, tagged, and released back onto state property. In the future Annacone said that he’ll be locking his basement door.
