Florida bear caught napping in a Naples condo lobby stunned residents and police after its swim in the Gulf on Friday. The black bear’s midday snooze inside the under-construction Gulf Shore Boulevard North building turned construction workers into impromptu bear wranglers. “He took a swim in the Gulf earlier and obviously tired himself out,” said Naples Police.

After the bear’s Gulf dip and lobby nap, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials safely relocated the exhausted animal. Naples police posted the surreal scene online, turning a sleepy bear into a brief local celebrity. The lobby became an unlikely bear den for one unforgettable afternoon.

Naples police said the black bear’s nap followed a swim in the Gulf, making it a rare seaside snoozer for Florida’s urban wildlife.
