Florida's black bears live mostly in unpopulated wilderness areas of the
state – primarily in the northern national forests and increasingly in
the Everglades in South Florida. Although they are prevalent, they are
seldom seen. This photo of an unusual sighting was taken by JoAnn Valee, owner of Buckhead Ridge RV & Boat Storage in Okeechobee, who was hunting deer at the time. They had stopped to rest and this young bear strolled by seemingly unaware of their presence. |
