He’s Smarter Than the Average Bear
But unlike Yogi Bear, in search of the perfect picnic basket, this adult Black Bear was evidently just out for an evening stroll. It wandered into the backyard of a Fillmore residence at the east end of Fourth Street, where the resident took this photo. It then strolled over to the neighbor’s yard, down into Pole Creek and back up into the mountains. One witness estimated its weight at 600 pounds. The sighting took place Sunday night, May 8th, at about 7:30 p.m.
