A homeowner in Chevy Chase, Maryland, said he nearly pet a bear he mistook for a dog in his backyard.
Messages and warnings about the bear flooded the neighborhood listserve.
“I was just about to step outside and I read the text that said, 'There's a bear on your front yard.' So I stopped, I came back inside and then all, you know, we went crazy because we have a lot of pets and we wanted to make sure everyone was inside and accounted for," said resident Andrea Heyl. Heyl teaches at nearby Holy Redeemer Elementary School, where she said her students were on bear watch Wednesday.“A black bear is a dangerous animal there is no reason a black bear should be here. The county should be doing something to capture said black bear and releasing it in north Montgomery County, up county, right? They're fine with bears right? They have land," Velinsky said.
Brian Eyler with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources said it's surprising, but not unusual, to have a bear come that close to the Beltway. Eyler said the bear was likely following a body of water like Rock Creek and simply walked across Beach Drive and up onto Culver Street. Residents living along Beach Drive should bring in their bird feeders and any outside food to keep bears away, Eyler said.
