Black Bear Visits Bangor Back Yard

Imagine looking out your back window after a hard day at work and seeing this:
That's what happened to one courthouse worker this evening. The black bear, the only kind you'll find in Pennsylvania, can run 35 mph, swim, climb trees and is an omnivore who will consume 20,000 calories per day. That's why it will ramble into someone's back yard. Mmmm. Bird seed. Mmmm. Garbage.

Black bear attacks are extremely rare.

You can read more about them here.

I suppose a human would provide at least 20,000 calories for old bear.

So nice to see that whoever this is still has the original iron fence and a brick house instead of aluminum siding and hedges.
