Black Bears in Mississippi Neighborhoods | Jackson News

Black bears are making more frequent appearances in Mississippi neighborhoods—Brandon, Clinton, and Utica have all seen recent sightings. Experts say it’s mostly young male bears exploring new territory, not looking for trouble. Security cameras have captured close encounters, including one right outside a Brandon home last week. Wildlife officials urge calm: give bears space, don’t feed them, and report sightings—but don’t panic. With so many security cameras around, what looks like multiple bears might actually be just one or two traveling through different areas. Stay aware, share the space, and let these wild neighbors roam safely. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
