It's believed this may be the same bear that was reported in Las Gaviotas this week.

Bears seem to love the City of Chesapeake. In March, a viewer sent WTKR video ofa black bear going through his family's trash in the Western Branch areaof the city.

With these recent bear sightings, we spoke to local park rangers who shared tips on how to stay safe whenever you spot the animals. You can see those tips here.
