Bear Problem in Seminole County

In Seminole County, a man heard a noise outside his home, and when he checked it out, he discovered a bear with a jar on his head. The bear now can’t eat and can’t drink, and wildlife officials are worried about how the bear can properly breath. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission set a trap in the area where the young bear was last seen, hoping to catch it and get the jar off of its head. They are asking people who see the bear to call them. In the meantime, they are asking everyone everywhere to secure their garbage so it doesn’t happen somewhere else.
