Times Animals Invaded Homes

Quiet Common

It might sound like a fluke, but finding wild animals in homes is more common than people realize.

It can come from critters looking for food, seeking shelter from bad weather, or even just taking a wrong turn and ending up lost and confused. Here are some of the funniest or most thrilling houses guests that homeowners never expected!

Just Passin’ Through

A Kansas woman got a notification on her Ring Bell app that someone was at her front door.

But it turned out the sensors had caught a wandering mountain lion instead! It even let out a deep growl, just to let everyone know who was boss. The owner said she couldn’t imaging hearing that sound in person.

Do You Have Fish?

A black bear in Newmarket, Ontario decided to use its Saturday the same as humans – he decided to run some errands.

It was first spotted in a residential area, but slowly made its way to a No-Frills supermarket before it was caught and transported back to the forest.

Mine Now!

A tiger was found lying on a bed inside a house as it sheltered from a deadly monsoon in India.

Needless to say, the owner was terrified, but it only got worse when the authorities told the man he would have to wait much longer than expected because emergency services were dealing with other distress calls. He just had to wait and let the big kitty be a resident for the day.

Confused Jumper

A startled kangaroo in Melbourne, Australia jumped through the window of a family home and locked itself in the bathroom.

An animal rescue worker was called in to handle the situation and found the young, 65-pound kangaroo exhausted and in distress.

“He would have been in a complete panic and in desperation just run in the path of what would have looked like a passage home, and just gone through the window.”
