It's no secret that bears are becoming more common in Missouri, but how many official sightings have there really been? I found several maps that show how many and where bears have been spotted in Missouri and they're slightly terrifying.
Missouri has a lot of bears and even more dogs. That's why a new video share seems to have the internet perplexed as to what one Missouri guy captured on video next to a road. Is it a big dog or a bear? You decide.
We're not far into 2024 yet and already the year has gotten stranger. This is just one example. After a rash of almost constant mountain lion sightings in Missouri in 2023, these big cats have seemingly just disappeared. Why the sudden scarcity of sightings?
There are certain things you never want to do to a bear and very high on that list is to not surprise them. That's when things can go terribly wrong. But, one Missouri guy gave a textbook response to walking up on a large predator by remaining cool as a cucumber.
