While these animals once roamed the Illinois landscape 150 years ago, seeing one today can be, at the very least, a startling sight. While the black bear sighted most recently has shown no aggressive behavior towards humans, it should not be approached. Help us keep this bear from being accustomed to people. Always observe wildlife from a distance. | | | | Date Created: | 06-11-2014 | | | | Agency ID: | 679**14 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000053350 Original UID: 174623 FIRST WORD: Statement | |
