Bear caught on video in Oldsmar, Tampa: Could it be the same animal?

A black bear tried to get into an Oldsmar woman’s trash can Thursday night.
Saturday morning, while wildlife officers were attempting to find it, a bear lumbered through an apartment complex on Tampa Shores Boulevard - more than seven miles away.
It could be the same bear, said Forest Rothchild, spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Adult bears can travel up to 15 miles a day.
“Something similar happened last year, about this same time, around the same place,” Rothschild said. In June 2021, officials closed Philippe Park in Safety Harbor after a bear was spotted there.

Hello, May I share the most important news you will ever hear in your life? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
