A bear wandering Pinellas County has been spotted on camera and in a park, forcing it to close for the day.

Early Saturday, it was caught on video in northern Pinellas County near Curlew and Countryside, according to Clearwater Police. It was also spotted in Philippe Park in Safety Harbor. Clearwater Police shared a Twitter video from a Ring camera.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission has made some statements about the bear. They are keeping an eye on the movement on the bear and allowing it to move out on its own. They recommend leaving the bear alone and giving it the space to move through. Also, never leave food out, because anything that attracts other animals (cats, dogs, raccoons) will also attract bears.
