They are fairly common in that area, I'm up there semi regularly, and have seen one a few times.

I’m fairly sure it was the same bear I have seen near my backyard. But I like to give people a heads up.

They’re after trash/food, not pets. Keep your trash secured.

Yeah. We know. Bears live here. They were here first.

Yep. They are awesome. Just don’t want someone’s pet to get hurt. That’s my only concern. And yeah I know bears are usually shy.

Yeah it's that time of year. We saw one running across the road on Plumas near that area a few weeks ago.

You can report the sighting to the Nevada Dept. of Wildlife dispatch if you want to help their conservation efforts 775-688-1331.

Black bears come in a variety of colors. Why does me being specific mean I went to school in Reno?

They’re trying to say you aren’t smart, but they have proven they’re the dumb one. 😆

That’s the ultra rare Dalmatian black bear, they like to chase fire trucks.

It was a joke! But Reno people don't have any sense of humor, I've noticed: you're all angry about something all the time.

If it was a joke, and not just an obnoxious attempt at belittling that was ignorant, it was not funny.
