No bears in sight

Where's the bear?

Taken up residency? Taking a nap? Taken off?

Whatever the case, the black bear -- or bears -- that has been spotted from Scituate to Narragansett in the past few weeks has been nowhere in sight since about 4 p.m. yesterday, according to the Department of Environmental Management.

And neither officials in North Kingstown or Narragansett, where the last two sightings came from, have fielded any sighting calls recently.

And so, for now, there are no DEM Environmental Police waiting in the woods, no municipal police pounding the pavement, and no calls from residents missing bird feeders.

But it's early yet.

And here's a question, where did the bear or bears come from?

Is this a hoax?? Is that picture genuine or a computer generated picture--seems now that there are people everywhere looking for it, the bear is gone. Perhaps maybe someone leaked this to the bear, IF he is actually out there-after all, this is Rhode Island-Operation Brown Bear! Maybe one of those guys at the State House warned the bear that the cops are looking for him.

Brandie is the best writer on Projo.com. She's funny, descriptive...she's a trip. Where the heck is this bear? He/she is becoming a local celebrity. I just hope the park rangers don't hurt the bear. I can't imagine a tranquilizer is very fun for an animal.
