A bear expert from MassWildlife said he is 'almost certain' there was only one black bear trekking across the SouthCoast last week, a two-year-old male.
A Marion yacht worker got the surprise of her life this morning when a black bear walked right by her on the docks of Sippican Harbor and jumped in for a swim.
After sightings in Taunton and Mansfield, it seems the black bears are now making their way south, with weekend sightings reported in Assonet and Fall River.
