Montgomery County, Maryland, residents are worried after black bear sightings in Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Kensington last week were followed by an ursine appearance in Rockville Wednesday.
The first sighting took place in Kensington, where a black bear was spotted pawing through garbage cans for food on April 24.
The man went in to pet it, only to belatedly realize it was a bear. The man managed to jerk his hand back in time before rushing back inside to call the cops and warn his neighbor. Within Maryland, the black bears ultimately originate from the counties of Garrett, Allegany, Washington and Frederick, which host a breeding population of over 2,000 bears.
