Observation Time: night

Comments: Multiple black bear sightings have been reported in Sharon over the past few years. It could be the same individual.

Black bears are not normally aggressive unless their cubs are threatened, but they can run considerably faster than an Olympic sprinter and are quite capable of mauling a human, so keep your distance.
