No, it’s in North Bethesda.

Wut. Clearly you havent been to many parts of Europe... there are bears in multiple countries that you have to be careful in the woods. "I'm a european" lmao. Like saying "I'm an american". I've never seen a bear in real life in america either but it's a big damn place.

You're very rude and have no reading comprehension.

I've lived in many different European countries, in capital cities and the countryside, and none have the sort of wildlife you have here, so close to cities. Of course we know of bears and wolves! But bears don't come that close to urban areas! Wolves stay in the mountains and pick off lambs. Bears don't get caught on cameras in the suburbs. Here I've had deer pass through my yard a stone's throw from downtown Bethesda... and in the same type of environment in the UK, France or Germany, I have NEVER seen the same, or heard anyone experience that. European fauna stays further away from population centers, possibly because there is less wild undergrowth with continuous cover and food, and more manicured parks that have no cover for large animals.

It’s still in rock thrill?

The new story linked by OP said they wanted to relocate the bear, not kill it.

Of course, the longer it takes to catch the bear to relocate it, is more time spent around humans it could hurt. If the police don’t catch up to it until it’s attacking someone, then they might have to kill it.

If you had taken the time to watch the segment on the link provided you would know there is zero intention to trap, much less "kill" the bear.

OP here - yes I thought about the use of that term after I posted. I should not have said "on the loose" because clearly it's his habitat.

It's loose because it's a wild animal, living outside, like wild animals do.

I hear this is Molly bear.

Do you think it’s related to the the Vienna bear?

Is anyone talking about this? I can't find any posts about it.
