It’s funny how different states react to different animals. By me, someone found one baby alligator and the authorities went on a hunt for a week to trap it. Meanwhile bears are just walking around lol
There are a ton of black bears in Central Florida. I have a friend who lives in Seminole Country near Altamonte Springs and she's constantly posting bear videos from her ring camera. She lives in a regular neighborhood with lots of houses, not out in the wilderness.
I think the "BEAR ON THE LOOSE!!!!!" titles make it seem like there was a bear wandering through the middle of Frontierland amidst the park goers. I'm going by Braden Mickey Views report of the bear was in the Tom Sawyer cave, but based on where the WESH helicopter showed they caught the bear, that's a place you would expect to see a bear. There has been so much land clearing and building, these animals have lost their homes. I'm not a bear expert, but I'm going to bet she was not the first bear in those woods...she was the first bear who got spotted during park opening by someone paying attention.
