(No known relation to Paddington) This black bear has apparently made himself known to residents along Pennington Street in Oakland as he lumbers back and forth to the Little Yough and then to his home somewhere atop Crook Crest. Kenny and Janet Alexander watched as he came into their yard along the town street on Sunday afternoon, and then loped back up the hillside. While black bears are somewhat startling to see, they are generally passive and can be frightened away by something as simple as the sound of jingling car keys. However, no one should ever approach a black bear or knowingly feed it. Females with cubs can be particularly dangerous. All should keep a good distance from Pennington Bear, even though he appears to be rather young. Photo provided by the Alexanders.
