A rare sighting of a black bear in the San Fernando Valley occurred last week. Officials say it's likely the same female spotted this summer in Chatsworth.
A very well-traveled black bear appears to still be traversing the Santa Monica Mountains, leading to another rare spotting of the female bear in the San Fernando Valley last week. The bear, who wildlife officials believe is Yellow 2291, was captured on security cameras last week, showing the bear walking down a street near Encino, passing a landscaped yard and street signs, according to an image shared by wildlife officials.
Based on the bear's movements, she probably also crossed State Road 118 and the 101 Freeway, in all likelihood using underpasses when maneuvering the major roadways. While West considered the bear's ramblings exceptional — even helping officials better understand wildlife movement patterns and where more crossings could be helpful — her travels are also quite dangerous. One of the last bears spotted roaming this the area was killed on the 101 Freeway.
