Default Bear at Sawgrass

We drove down to Southern Oaks today and went for a walk on the beautiful nature trail in Hawkins.

Then we drove over to Sawgrass in St. Catherine to look at the new putting course and we saw a large black bear walking along the road. The bear was between the putting course and the mesh fence around the new construction.

The bear seemed irritated by the mesh fence, so it started running toward the Ezell Rec Center. We tried to follow it, but by the time we got our car turned around, it had disappeared.

Unless some friendly Villagers took it in and fed it, it probably went into woods bordering St. Catherine and maybe ended up in Chitty Chatty.
