Wild black bear surprises Eureka zoo staff

A wild black bear strolled right into Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka, catching staff completely off guard during their morning rounds. The bear didn’t cause trouble—just checked out the captive bears, sniffed around, and politely left with a little help from local police and wildlife officials. But this close encounter is a wake-up call: as forests shrink and cities grow, wild animals are showing up in places we never expected. How do you feel about wildlife popping up in our neighborhoods? What steps should we take to protect both animals and people? #Pets #Eureka #Wildlife
