State: Bear calls up,
but residents need to live with it
ORANGE CITY
Florida black bears,
driven by instinct to fatten up for the coming winter, are roaming
neighborhoods near Blue Spring State Park, digging into garbage cans and
prompting state officials to remind residents how to live with bears.
Black bear spotted in
Altamonte Springs neighborhood
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla.
Neighbors contacted WFTV
after seeing a black bear in an Altamonte Springs neighborhood Saturday
morning.
The black bear was
spotted outside of a home on Oak Gate Circle around 10:00 a.m. Saturday.
“If at the first site of
a bear, people will lock up their garbage and bring all pet food and wildlife
attractants inside, the bear will move on.
But the longer people
tolerate the bears, the harder it is to get rid of the problem because the
bears will keep coming back” said Joy Hill, a commission spokeswoman.
