Lions and Tigers and BEARS

Oh my! There was a grizzly bear sighting in Wrens, Georgia on October, 31st at approximately 12:30pm. The bear cub was seen and confirmed by approximately 10 people in a residential area.

While there have been a spattering of black bear sightings over the years, this has been the first grizzly seen in this area. Residents are wondering if the bear cub escaped from the circus or the zoo.

The cub appeared to be well fed, but still very hungry. He seemed happy and explored his surroundings without fear. If you see this bear, do not try to feed him. It is thought that his mother might be near and has a severe sweet tooth!

Happy Fall Ya'll!
