A bear named“Muffin”is becoming a local celebrity in Auburn after being filmed swimming in a resident’s backyard pool last Thursday. The video, captured by Joe Sterk, shows the young black bear cooling off in the water, a sight that’s both charming and a reminder of the active wildlife season. This is just one of several bear sightings reported across Placer County in recent days, with police in Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, and Auburn all sharing warnings with residents.
