Bear roams neighborhood
Florida Black Bears like this one, found in the base housing area, are commonly seen on and around Eglin. While no documented attacks on humans ever occurred in the state of Florida, they are a large, wild animal that should not be provoked. If you do encounter a bear, use the following safety tips: remain standing upright, avoid direct eye contact, back up slowly, speak in a calm, assertive tone, make sure the bear has an escape route and do not run from the bear. If you see a bear in the housing area, call Jackson Guard at 882-4164, or security forces at 882-2502. (USAF photo/Kathy Gault)
