He's the friendly neighborhood black bear :lol: Everybody on the road knows him. He's harmless, but still, :shock: HELLO, I think I'll stick to the city.

 

[Silver]

He does look quite comfortable. But yes, I'm with you in sticking to the city.

 

[Kasco]

Yikes!

That's crazy. He is really a handsome kid though. In all of my years camping and such I have still have never seen a bear in the wild. I'm jealous.

If I am correct on this, it is the Fish and Game Division of Maine. They like to keep track of what the bears are up to and where they end up and how long they lived and if they got into any trouble. Black bears are not aggressive but they are like a racoon - they get into anything that even resembles food. They can get too tame and that is not good. They need to stay in the woods where they depend on themselves for food. Maine has a lot of woods so there should not be a reason for them not to stay there unless their habitat was turned over into a housing development - which has happened.
