that last night, a Chevy Chase resident came close to petting a bear—which he’d mistaken for a dog—in his backyard. It’s unclear whether the sightings were of the same animal.
Bear sightings are relatively uncommon in Montgomery County, but Jonathan Trudeau—the Black Bear and Co-Deer Project Leader at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources—says that the department does receive calls about sightings there each year. Black bears tend to breed in Western counties like Frederick, and the ones seen in Montgomery County are usually young males just passing through.
