Sometimes when I go up to Northern Michigan, I get nervous taking walks after dark because there legit have been bear sightings. Up North. Not far fetched. Not a joke. Swimmers at a Destin, Florida beach on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico had a special guest swimmer yesterday, a black bear. Shark sighting? Not far-fetched. A bear? Out of the ordinary. He didn’t appear to be too phased by swimming with people at a crowded beach.
