A bear cub in a tree caused a bit of a ruckus at a southern California high school, photos show. The cub climbed up into a tree across the street from Crescenta Valley High School and stayed there most of the afternoon on Tuesday, Nov. 12, causing students to spend the day indoors, several outlets reported.

Multiple agencies were monitoring an adolescent cub as it sat in a tree in front of Crescenta Valley High School, unable to compel the creature to go home.

For one day only, “the bear ate my homework” might be an acceptable excuse for students at a Los Angeles-area high school. An unlikely visitor showed up to Crescenta Valley High School on Tuesday in the form of a bear cub.

Two California schools were plunged into lockdown after a “confused” bear cub was spotted clinging to a tree outside, according to officials. The incident unfolded on Tuesday when the cub was seen climbing a pine tree near Crescenta Valley High School in Los Angeles County.
