NAPLES, Fla. – Sharks aren't the only thing beachgoers need to be on the lookout for in Florida this summer after a black bear was spotted taking a dip in the Gulf waters off Naples over the weekend.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), black bears are more active in the spring in Florida as they search for food and water. Young bears between 1 and 2 years old might be spotted in unexpected areas as they move away from their mothers and find a new spot to settle down.

On Friday, two people – a mother and son – saw an unexpected creature emerging from the sea. Video taken by Kylie Nelson shows the bear swimming up to the beach and then taking a stroll.
