Experts told NBC 7 the California black bear -- while native to the state and even Baja California, Mexico -- is not an oft-seen sight in San Diego County and…
Several Palomar Mountain residents have reported separate sightings of what officials believe is the same black bear sojourning the areaMultiple residents atop Palomar Mountain have taken to social media over the past several weeks sharing images and videos of a California black bear milling about a North San Diego County community in the Cleveland National Forest.
A bear was captured in one video from late May sniffing around the porch of a home about two miles southwest of the renowned Palomar Observatory before it was seen in a second video running back into the nearby wooded area.Another video captured Sunday showed a similar size bear trekking north on Canfield Road, near the Palomar Mountain General Store.
Wildlife experts with the agency were also able to determine from video they received of the bear that it is not collared, therefore, they are not able to track its history or future movements, Daly noted."The reality is it's still their natural habitat," Enyart added."They're not going outside of what would be considered appropriate territory for them. It's just unusual.
