Bears in Town This Summer | Savannah News

Black bears are more visible in suburban areas like Smyrna and Newnan this summer — and it’s totally normal. Young bears are exploring on their own, while adults search for mates or food. These wanderings are seasonal, not permanent moves. Bears are generally peaceful passers-through, not aggressive, so stay calm, give them space, and secure trash and pet food to avoid habituation. If you spot one, don’t approach or feed it — and remember, bears usually want to avoid humans just as much as we want to avoid them.
