WATCH: Black bear follows elderly woman through her neighborhood

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Spotting a bear in certain parts of Connecticut is nothing new, but the state's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) says black bears are becoming a lot more comfortable around humans these days.

A black bear was captured lumbering not far behind an elderly woman out for a stroll with her walker in West Hartford Wednesday morning.

The woman and her caretaker spotted the bear creeping up on them, and headed for home — fast.
