Is it Santa?

Nope...

ALTADENA, Calif. -- A small bear found himself cornered by wildlife officers on a California roof on Monday. The officers were called out after the bear was spotted in an Altadena, Calif., neighborhood. Initially, it was found sitting in a tree. The bear was shot with a tranquilizer. That's when it tried to take to the rooftops to get away. The bear then took a tumble from the roof, but emerged uninjured. Officials captured the animal. They said they would transport it back to the wild. Authorities said the bear might be the same bear seen Sunday afternoon in a resident's pool. Home video shot by Walderman Strubinski shows the bear taking a stroll through the neighborhood. The bear was almost hit by a car when he decided to cross the road and check out the homes on the other side of the street. He climbed a few fences to check out some neighbors' back yards.
