Beachgoers in Destin, Florida were shocked.
It look like the stereotype has evolved . It is n’t just " Florida Men " or " Florida People " any longer — now , the descriptor has extended to the animal realm , since the Florida fauna seems to be partake in unambiguously odd activities as well .
Let ’s take this one bear , for good example . A black bear was recentlyspotted at a Florida beachwhile it was doing exactly what beachgoers were doing too : taking a dip by the shore .
As CNN account , Destin ’s beach was in shock on Sunday when the animal was identified . After taking a tonic plunge through the Gulf of Mexico , the bear reportedly ran up the shoring . grant to witnesses , the bleary fellow came from pretty far , and at first it was unmanageable to trap down what variety of fauna it was — which is intelligible , look at that our brains are credibly not wired to ask to see a bear swimming in a Florida beach .

Some beachgoers even recorded a video recording of the wild brush , and it is now circularise online . After making it to the shore and scaring off a few hoi polloi and nestling ( some of whom are , understandably , heard screaming in the transcription ) , the bear reportedly ran off , consort to a witness on internet site .
For now , it is still ill-defined where incisively the bear in the beginning came from , but there is an account . Together with many other very dangerous animals , some bear mintage ( including black bears ) are counted among Florida ’s dweller . As such , it is n’t rare for them to be blemish in civilized area .
" While seeing a bear swimming in the shallows of a crowded beach is strange , to say the least , swimming is something that black bears are moderately beneficial at , " the FWC said . " It actually is n’t unusual to see of black bears swimming in the Gulf , on their way to barrier islands in search of solid food . "
This does n’t mean that you should approach the animal and endeavor to make a beach Quaker , or you might get in real hassle . " Give ‘ em plentitude of place and never sample to approach or feed them , " the FWC add together . " Most bears will move along on their own . "
