A surprising visit from a bear left residents of an Arizona border community speechless.
The bear was spotted in downtown Douglas on Sunday, according to the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
The bear was more daring than the ordinary bear, climbing up two utility poles and even sitting on the wires at one point.
State wildlife authorities, Douglas police, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office, and the United States Border Patrol shut down U.S. Highway 191 in an attempt to persuade the bear to leave.
The seemingly unaffected bear ultimately hopped down and scampered away, scattering nearly two dozen bystanders, according to authorities.
There were no injuries recorded.
Officials with the Department of Game and Fish say now is the time of year when residents in the region should be on the lookout for bears.
