Clock: Bär discovered the streets of the eldest city in the nation of the nation

St. Augustine, Fla. – A black bear was roamed on the streets of the oldest city in the nation on Tuesday morning, which caused the law enforcement authorities to keep the residents looking for the creature.

The police authority of St. Augustine published a video in which the bear, a wall around the historical corridor of St. George Street, scaled from one of the many alleys of the city.

Many of the sightings occurred in the Downtown region, a strongly visited area of ​​tourists who celebrate the founding of the city by European explorers in 1565.

Animal specialists say that the bear was not regarded as a threat to the community, but emphasized that the sighting serves as a memory of the season.

Presumed Florida Bären attack leaves the person, the dog dead

At this time of year, young bears begin to dispel in new areas and often bring them to urban areas.

“It is important to keep a respectful distance and never run. Black bears avoid avoiding people and will usually continue quickly,” the police said.

The sighting in St. Johns County came just one day after a fatal black bear attack in the southwest of Florida, where a man and his dog in what civil servants believe is the first documented fatal bear attack in the history of the state.

In response to the reported incident, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported that three bears in the Big Cypress Wildlife Management area were put to sleep, and the DNA analysis is carried out to determine whether one of the animals was involved in the fatal encounter.

While wild officials emphasized that bear attacks on humans remain extremely rare, encounters are becoming increasingly common, with the populations of people and black bears being increased.

The state's black bear population has recovered significantly in recent decades and is now estimated to be 4,000.

According to FWC, adults in Florida usually weigh between £ 250 and £ 450, while adults are between 125 and 250 pounds.

Due to the growing population and the increased sightings, the FWC is currently considering re -hiring the state's annual black bear hunting, which was exposed to public counter -reactions.
