Bear Swimming in Florida

Info from Licensor: "I was out on the water exploring behind my home area and saw something in the distance that I initially thought was a wild hog because the head looked big, then I thought it was a dog until I got closer and the ears went forward. Once I realized it was a bear, I pulled out my phone and began recording. I have lived in Florida most of my life and never saw a bear, much less one swimming across the river from that distance. Th bear crossed the river looked back at me to be sure I was not following it and ran off in the reeds."
