Black bear causes commotion at Florida beach
TL;DR Summary
A black bear cub was spotted swimming in the Gulf of Mexico at a crowded beach in Destin, Florida. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission explained that during this time of year, young bears like the one spotted in Destin can leave the comfort of their mother’s home to explore “unexpected areas” in search of a new home or food. While it is unusual to see a bear swimming in the shallows of a crowded beach, it isn’t unusual to hear of black bears swimming in the Gulf, on their way to barrier islands in search of food.
