BROOKLINE — The bear found in a towering pine tree in the yard of a multimillion-dollar home here today is the same male bear who rambled across Cape Cod before being captured two weeks ago and then exiled to Central Massachusetts, state officials said.
After being captured and relocated on June 11, the stubborn bear trekked 100 miles eastward before ending up at around 7:30 a.m. in the backyard of a $4.9 million home on Pine Road, officials said.

What makes them not "normal" inhabitants in a particular area? Do you mean that human settlement in any geographic region automatically negates normalcy as it relates to any (potentially dangerous) species? If that's your dominionist worldview, then by all means take your BB gun and go hang out with some black bears. The rest of us will co-exist with nature in a reasoned fashion.
boatwrote, I'm trying to picture "a female bare mothering a cob". Quite a stunning vision. I can certainly see why you say that "such animals need to be immediately knocked out and moved to a suitable wild area". Perhaps a nude beach?
What he means is that he liked it better when there were no bears in the hood, no beavers ruining suburban back yards, no kitty cats being snacks for coyotes, and wildlife was what you saw on Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom." I liked it better that way, too, to be honest with you.
