He's been sighted all over the neighborhood on Nextdoor. He stopped by at 2 this afternoon, probably attracted by the small pond. Kinda warm today, it hit 70 degrees.
 
Probably attracted by the food you keep leaving out. It'll become a nuisance and then be put down due to your actions. Stop feeding the wildlife.

A hungry bear is going to eat your trash and destroy your bird feeder. Or your pet llamas like they did to the neighbors at the ranch.
 
The wildlife people say, "If you have deer, you're going to have bears and Mountain Lions," They recommend not being bent over like working in a garden or playing in a sandbox.
 
We have a friendly deer that likes to visit. I left the grass long over the mound for the septic field. Yesterday morning she was there, lying down, waiting for us to get up and say hi.
We have peacocks and turkeys and deer.
The cougars, bears and marmots are on the big island.
We are heading thru grizzly bear country.
 
This bear was in my daughter’s fenced in yard the other morning! I thought it was pretty damn funny. It is definatly not AI, plenty of video an I witnesses.

I read there's one black bear attack resulting in death per year in the US. Last year before we had a Ring camera the wildlife cam took a picture of a huge black bear in the back yard. That's the one that tore up the BBQ grill. It got in the trash and destroyed the neighbor's bird feeder.
 
A really tall Bobcat walked thru the yard at 3:09 am. I mean this cat had legs as long as a Pointer bird dog. I wouldn't try to outrun him. We weren't sure, so my daughter sent the video to a few of her Vet doctors. They all said Bobcat. Kinda like this guy.

I wondered about this.

Yes, cougars and bobcats can mate, but they are different species and typically do not hybridize in the wild. However, hybrids between bobcats and Canada lynx have been confirmed, indicating that some felids can interbreed under certain conditions.
