The Cape Cod Bear Makes Another Appearance

Massachusetts wildlife officials have confirmed that the today is the famous who traveled from the South Shore to Cape Cod a few weeks ago, according to and The Boston Globe.

The bear hung out in backyards, feasting on birdseed and other goodies, in South Plymouth for at least a week before swimming across the Cape Cod Canal. Wildlife officials caught that bear after it roamed the Cape for weeks, moving it west and releasing it.

Based on the photos released by officials, it does not look like there is a definite match. In the photo, the Cape Cod Bear seems to have a longer snout than the Brookline Bear.

According to WBZ, "The 200-pound bear climbed about 50 feet up a large pine tree in Sherry Leventhal’s yard on Pine Road in Chestnut Hill and started to take a nap just after sunrise."

Environmental officials tranquilized the bear, which had climbed an additional 30 feet after being struck. When the tranquilizer took effect, the bear fell about 80 feet to the ground. Officials say the bear was safe and did not incur any injuries, according to WBZ. 

The bear is set to be released into the wild in Western Massachusetts. 

Officials said male bears are going out on their own for the first time around this time of the year, thus the increased sightings. 

Since the '70s Massachusetts bear population has grown 8 percent a year.

This bear has not had good luck so far.
