Bear Spotted in Avon

(Editor’s note: We first published this story earlier in the week, but here it is again in case you missed it)

When the Fox CT reporters set out to do a story on bears, they may not have figured they would actually see a bear while they were out.

But that’s exactly what they saw. Here’s a tweet from Jeevan Vittal about the sighting:

The bear just spooked some poor residents who just came home. We called #Avon #PD to give them a heads up. @FoxCTpic.twitter.com/lYSLuKbqQp

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection says that if you see a bear, enjoy it from a distance, advertise your presence by shouting and waving - or walk away slowly, don’t try to feed it or attract it, and call the DEEP wildlife division.
