The Great Bear Migration Myth
Some people might claim to have seen a bear roaming the streets of LA, but let's be real, they probably just had one too many margaritas at a pool party. The last brown bear in California was spotted around 1924, so it's safe to say the species has taken a permanent vacation from the Golden State.

What About Black Bears?
Now, before you start planning your bear-watching safari in Griffith Park, let’s talk about black bears. These guys are a bit more common in the mountainous areas around LA, especially in places like the Angeles National Forest. But even then, your chances of encountering one are slimmer than a Kardashian’s waistline.
