Bear roams Marksville yard as Louisiana wanderer seeks home
A young black bear spent a week in a Marksville neighborhood climbing trees and drawing crowds. Wildlife biologist Maria Davidson notes several bears are wandering populated areas in Louisiana as mother bears drive yearlings away to prevent inbreeding. Locals Patsy Trevillion and Dennis Carmouche recount spotting the bear about 20 to 25 feet up a water oak between yards.
