Bear Spotted Roaming Connecticut Neighborhood

WESTPORT, Conn. (CBSNewYork) -- A bear seems to be pretty comfortable in a Connecticut neighborhood.

Several people reported seeing the animal Wednesday in northern Westport.

One resident spotted the bear in their backyard. From there, it went to a nearby home and reportedly put its paw on a neighbor who was gardening outside.

The bear also sat on a porch before leaving.

It was not acting aggressive, but Animal Control says if you see it, it's still best to keep your distance.
