Where are they coming from 😳

Have you heard of any rare animals running around your area? A bear ran in front of my car while I was visiting someone in Connecticut and if that wasn’t enough of a shocker for me, I saw this guy was seen in NY by a friend 😱

We had our first ever bear enter the city last May. He got up a tall tree and there was all kind of people there, police, game rangers, etc trying to lure him down. They were afraid that he’d be a threat after dark in a residential area. Ended up with him dying. 😭 No one here was happy about that.

@cherokeepatti Should have backed off and left him alone. Would have come down on his own and wandered off most likely

@icedsky I think so too, but they knew he was headed north, several sightings before he got in the yard. And if he went north he would have had to cross the I-35 and likely to have caused a wreck. I think they should have watched him.

@cherokeepatti tranquilized him and packed him off

@cherokeepatti That’s sad. They didn’t know what to do with the other one in my area not long ago, it’s new to here.

@icedsky They shot at least two tranquilizers in him and for some reason they didn’t take.

@MellyMel22 they had seen bears as near as 40 miles here in the past couple of years. They are migrating from southeastern Oklahoma or maybe straying out of their territory during mating season.

@cherokeepatti I’ve been hearing they’re everywhere lately 😩
