Despite it almost being January, an Eagle River homeowner has captured footage of a black bear awake and active around her house.

Black bear (Ursus americanus) sighted during a rather warm winter this year.

A family of five black bears is roaming an Alaska neighborhood, toppling trash cans as the group rummages for food and scaring some residents who believe the animals are the same ones seen in the area last summer.

A rare sighting to observe a brown bear in January.
