Dennis I never heard of a bear with rabies. I always thought they couldn't get it.

Thanks Justin King

I know, I didn't think they could get it either. From what I've read this is only the 2nd documented case east of the Mississippi. The other one was about 5 yrs ago in Maryland.

Just think Justin if one of your 600# bear come down with it. A John Deere Gator wouldn't stand a chance!!

I live about 5 miles from where this happened. The bear was trying to get in their house.The DNR said it had rabies,but the way they try to protect the bears around here,they would say anything to make a bear not look bad.

 A bear...

is a mammal...and any mammal can get rabies. Thought in bears it is very rare.
