Bear Spotted Running On Colorado's Eastern Plains, If You See It Call CPW
(CBS4) - Black bears generally live in the foothills and forests of Colorado, so the sighting of a bear far out on the Eastern Plains is creating a bit of concern this week.
Officials with Colorado Parks And Wildlife shared a photo showing a sub-adult bear who was seen running south of Limon near the Lincoln and Elbert County line.
CPW officials said they are trying to find the bear and "return it to a more suitable bear habitat."
