A female black bear has captured attention across California, inspiring both fascination and concern. Sightings raise awareness about safety around wildlife as bears roam suburban areas.
According to Jessica West from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the bear, known as 'Yellow 2291', has been sighted multiple times traveling in and out of the Santa Monica Mountains.
Wildlife officials emphasized that while social media brings awareness to bears, real-life encounters can create safety risks, advising residents to stay attentive in bear-populated areas.
The Angeles National Forest advised residents to be cautious of their surroundings during outdoor activities to ensure both their own safety and that of local wildlife.
