It's not just one black bear that has been spotted. Southeast Minnesota has logged multiple sightings in the last two weeks alone, including one with a cub.
Black bears aren't common in Southeast Minnesota, but they do show up - and one made a Tuesday appearance in Claremont that had residents sharing photos and warnings across social media.
I never knew you could encounter a brown colored bear in Minnesota. Apparently it's more common than you would think, especially in Northwestern Minnesota.
