If you're heading to Fort Myers or anywhere along Florida’s Gulf Coast, be aware that wildlife can show up where you least expect it even in well-populated neighborhoods. A black bear was spotted wandering through backyards near McGregor Blvd, and while it wasn’t aggressive, locals were understandably shaken.
For travelers renting homes or staying near wooded areas, secure your trash, keep food indoors, and don’t leave pets unattended. Florida's natural beauty is part of its charm, but always respect local wildlife and report any unusual sightings to authorities.
Anyone else had close wildlife run-ins while on vacation?
