  • Wildlife officials in Southern California are fielding calls and gathering data on what appears to be a surge in black bear encounters this year and in recent years.
    Bears have been spotted in residential areas of Sierra Madre, Monrovia, and Castaic within the past week. On Monday, officers attempted to tranquilize and relocate a bear that wandered through a neighborhood near Castaic Lake.
    KTLA's Jennifer McGraw reports on April 30, 2024.

    Leave the bears alone. They are the California state symbol. Sadly, our rivers, lakes and valleys have been so polluted. There are no fish, fruits or berries left for the Bears to eat. Less human pollution, more environmentally, friendly Wildlife!

      ​@@shamaniworld528it's not a brown bear, it's a black bear. Black bears come in different colors. A brown colored black bear is called a cinnamon bear. A brown bear, also called a grizzly, doesn't exist in California. Grizzlies can be identified by the hump on their backs over their front legs.

    People have to realize animals don’t hear an EV approaching. Whenever I drive through a quiet neighborhood with mine, I slow way down. Cats just sit there till I honk at them. I urge people to be extra careful with there EVs, especially in parking lots. Also when coming up on cyclists on the road way. I was almost hit by a guy speeding by me while on my bicycle. I never heard him, till I saw him pass me. He passed close to me in his older Hyundai EV.

To make it more confusing, black bears can be black, brown, cinnamon red and even white. A lot of the ones in California are brown. Brown black bears.
