Alaska-native Kodiak bear cubs discovered in Florida, 3,600 miles from home
Two bear cubs native to Alaska, identified as Kodiak cubs, were found wandering in Florida, approximately 3,614 miles away from their natural habitat. The cubs were discovered by a Florida deputy and a man, who speculated that they were brown bears or grizzly bears. The Florida Fish and Wildlife agency was contacted to transport the cubs to a secure location and investigate their presence in Florida. It was later determined that the bears had escaped from an inadequate enclosure at a residence where a self-proclaimed bear trainer lives, leading to various wildlife violations for the resident.
