Bear Strolls Through Mississippi Neighborhood | Jackson News

A black bear just strolled through North Pleasant Hill in New Hebron, Mississippi — straight through a neighborhood where folks never expected to see one. Resident Marq Powell caught the whole thing on video while mowing his mom’s lawn. This isn’t an isolated incident: flooding from Tropical Storm Arthur and recent sightings in Clinton and Utica show bears are increasingly venturing into human spaces. Wildlife experts urge everyone to stay calm, keep your distance, secure trash and pet food, and never feed them. Officials are monitoring the trend closely as nature makes unexpected appearances — even in your backyard. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
