It’s unlikely that you’ll be attacked by a bear in the ocean, but apparently, it’s a possibility.
I have questions.
June 12 (UPI) — Visitors to a Florida beach were in for a surprise when a black bear was spotted swimming side-by-side with their fellow beachgoers.
Multiple visitors to the crowded beach in Destin captured video when the bear emerged from the ocean and swam next to human beachgoers before making its way to shore.
“The bear was out pretty far,” Chris Barron, who recorded footage of the bear, told WTVT-TV. “A lot of people started swimming in. I was worried it was a shark. I walked over and thought it was a dog.”
Barron said the bear was swimming right by his brother and 12-year-old son.
“At this point I realized it was a bear and started videoing. It kept swimming in. He got to shore, shook off, and ran into the brush in the sand dunes,” Barron said. “I think most people were shocked instead of being scared. No one expected to see a bear in the Gulf of Mexico.”

There is a great video of a brown bear going into a quik mart and grabbing a snack at the front by the register while not disturbing anything.
It even balances the display back in place as it starts to tilt then walks out.
The RBCD rounds took out a small black bear with 9mm.
They are out of business but the gun show still has some.

Maybe came out of the Point Washington State forest, if that’s the ocean side as it looks to be. On the bay side is Eglin AFB and that’s a lot forest over there.

Alaska has polar bears and Florida has beach bears.

Obviously, it was a Cuban bear taking advantage of open borders to escape communism.

Did it go hide in the brush and start yelling, Shark! Shark!??
