Soooo Friends of the Wissahickon posted on their Facebook page today that a black bear is wandering around the Wissahickon Park.

According to the Facebook post, the bear has been seen on “Forbidden Drive near Valley Green Inn. It was last seen walking across the Creek towards Devils Pool.”

Apparently the bear wanted to get to his Sustainable Bucket List stat. Or maybe he was on his early way to PHL for bike month…

Readers, have you seen the Philadelphia bear? Tell us!
