Bear relaxes in hot tub, drinks cocktail

A bear has not only taken a dip in a Californian hot tub - but also sipped cocktails while relaxing in it.

Homeowner Mark Hough captured footage of the cheeky bear appearing to luxuriate in the bubbles in the sun in his garden in Altadena, LA.

He said it had climbed over the fence into his yard, according to the New York Post.

And while he’d stopped filming, Mr Hough claims when the bear emerged from the water, it knocked over a margarita he’d left behind - and lapped it up.

It then headed for a nap in a nearby tree.
