Lester’s security camera caught the incident on video, which shows a bear taking on an inflatable reindeer at his Lake Tahoe home. The footage shows the bear hitting and squashing down the inflatable Christmas decoration.
Showing no sign of wanting to join in any of Rudolph’s "reindeer games," the video then shows the bear taking off.
Lester posted a message on social media following the incident, writing, "Sad news, woke up this morning to Rudolph laying on the ground unresponsive. No amount of CPR or duct tape could revive him."
