Several Black Bear Sightings In Southern Wisconsin

My family and I are animal lovers. I enjoy seeing them out and about. We're lucky because we have quite a few around our house. Also, I see a bunch of animals around the radio station, too. Every once in a while, when I get to work in the morning, a fox is hanging out in our parking lots.

Over the past couple of weeks in southern Wisconsin, there have been some animals spotted that I hope I never encounter in person. That's black bears. They're cute, but very dangerous. I could've even imagined taking a walk and running into a bear. How scary is that? With many homes and businesses with security cameras, the sightings seem more prevalent. Though many of the witnesses in Wisconsin have seen them with their own eyes.

There are thousands of bears that call Wisconsin home, but in the way northern part of the state. It's rare to see them in the southern region, but it's been happening much more over the last couple of years. The animals are usually out looking for food or a mate. If you happen upon one, your best bet is to stay clear of the beast. This isn't the time for a selfie. That's when people get seriously injured.
