“I didn’t know if I should stay in the car or run away. I was shocked. I was terrified,” Pablo del Valle said of seeing a bear as he arrived at work Monday morning at Ferrera Tooling, just west of Lakeland Linder Airport. The bear that del Valle and others reported seeing is thought to be the same juvenile recently spotted near Plant City and elsewhere in south Lakeland. Game officials urge people seeing bears to stay calm since the animal’s instinct is to flee.
