Bears in Lexington SC...oh my! Yesterday a young bear was spotted a mile or so from my home. This is right on the shores of Lake Murray in Lexington South Carolina near downtown and city limits. It is unusual to see a bear in the midlands of South Carolina as its not really there range.
Bear sightings have increased over the last few years as it seems the population is growing. SCDNR Say's this is the time of year Mother Bears chase off the cubs to start a new life. And the cubs wonder about to find there own home range.
I will think twice if my children say they have seen something in the woods from now on. Bears in Lexington South Carolina? Oh My!

Wow! All we get here in Fort Wayne are squirrels, racoons, possums, and a stray deer. Be careful out there!! By any chance was this bear wearing a hat and talking about how you can prevent forest fires? ;)
Many wild animals are starting to be seen in areas that are not their usual stomping grounds. The development of land in SC is making it more likely we see all types of wildlife that used to be only seen rarely. A bit of advice, do not leave food in your car, bears will bust out the window to get to it.
My wife grew up with bears in Upstate New York. They are always looking for food.
The idea of a sweet bear cub sounds so cute to city dwellers until you think of your kids meeting up with one, NOT a cute thought. Kate
I had not heard about this, but I think it's neat to be honest. Of course, I can see where it would make a lot of people nervous to know there is a bear on the loose out here.
Laura --- I have to agree with JL ---I would be a little nervous if he were close to my house --- it does appear that maybe this one is a cub --- do you think?
