Florida Authorities Warn Against Selfies With Sad Bear Local police urge respect for wildlife as curious crowds gather around distressed black bear in Santa Rosa BeachIn a striking reminder of the delicate balance between humans and wildlife, a black bear has recently become a subject of online fascination and local concern. Black bears are a common sight in Florida, especially during the spring and summer when young bears start to leave their mothers and explore new territories. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) noted that sightings like this are not unusual for this time of year. With urban sprawl encroaching into natural habitats, animals like this black bear find themselves increasingly visible to local communities. In recent months, there have been several other encounters involving black bears across Florida.
