"He cut out, and there was a bunch of trees going boom, boom, boom, boom," said Robinson describing the animal he saw trekking through the woods behind his West Mobile home.
Over the last couple days, several people have reported seeing a mama bear and her cub on Howell's Ferry Road near the Forest Acres subdivision. A Mobile police sergeant who was searching the area said he saw the bears, but they went into the woods when the officers showed up.
Sheryl Neighbors was driving a school bus when she spotted one of the bears Thursday morning.
"I want to say he was maybe 200 pounds or something," she said.
Officials at the Alabama Department of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries says the bears have not acted aggressively, so he doubts his officers will try to track them down. Instead, he just warns residents not to get between mama and her baby.
"The bear is probably just moving through the area finding opportunities for food," said Sharp.
Wildlife officials say if you live near the bear sightings it's important to make sure your trash or pet food is not where the animals can get to it.
