The bear made its way through the parking area and camped out for a bit in a tree near our investigations division. FWC [Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission] was notified and took command of the situation. After a short time, the bear calmly went about its way,” they wrote.
“There has been an increase in bear sightings in our area recently. FWC is urging everyone to take a moment and learn a little bit about what to do if you see a bear. One of the biggest things you can do to prevent a bear visit is to secure your trash cans,” they added.
