Florida Friday: Bear breaks into home, takes nap on porch (VIDEO)

A black bear broke into a Naples, FL., home through a screened door and made himself quite comfortable on the floor of the MacDonough family's lanai.

The MacDonough family tells NBC2 that they watched from behind a window as a black bear spent an hour just hanging out making himself comfortable on their lanai. State bear experts say this is unprecedented and the bear's behavior is raising some red flags.

"You don't really think when you see something like that. So we were all just freaking out," said Preston MacDonough.

A black bear left the comforts of the collier county woods - tore through this screen and settled down on the MacDonough's lanai.

Jaws dropped -- the babysitter called the homeowner right away.

Alice MacDonough rushed home.



"I know I've been to the zoo. I've seen a bear at the zoo, but not even that close. This is the closest I've ever come to a bear let alone a seven or eight feet bear sitting on my back porch," Alice said.

The bear spent an hour on the lanai, but not doing much.

"I think he was yawning because he looked tired because he was sleeping," said Mason MacDonough.

FWC says this is a problem. The bear obviously isn't afraid of humans. They plan on trapping it -- saying things could go a lot worse the next time he shows up.

The trap is now in place and the bait is set -- now they have to wait for the bear to come back.
