Florida Bear Filmed Feasting on Halloween Candy in Residential Area

Caught on camera in Lake Mary, a bear helps itself to leftover candy on a resident's front lawn, marking another incident among several recent bear encounters across Florida.

• A bear was filmed in Lake Mary, Florida, feasting on leftover Halloween candy in a residential area, unfazed by nearby activity.
• This incident is not the only recent bear encounter in Florida, with several other sightings, including on a sailboat and in a resident's back porch.
• The bear was spotted by Pari Limbachia, who was out trick-or-treating with her kids, and the event was recorded on a 45-second clip.
• The children were amazed to see the bear eating candies with their wrappers on, and the family safely left the scene in a golf cart when the bear got too close.
• The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission suggests that the bear was likely attracted to the candy due to its strong sense of smell, which can detect odors from over a mile away.
