TORRINGTON, CT (WFSB) - A bear was caught lounging on a lawn in Torrington on Monday.

Channel 3 viewer Carra Starr Wabrek recorded video of the bear on Elmwood Terrace.

“He was just lounging on the lawn like he was the family dog,” Wabrek told Eyewitness News.

She sent the video through social media.

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said bears are not quite ready to start the denning process.

In Connecticut, most bears den from late November through mid-March.
