WORCESTER - A family of black bears has become the talk of Worcester after the family was seen wandering throughout neighborhoods in the city.

"It was definitely breathtaking to see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Brianna Emond-Parkin who saw the bears.

Three black bears were busy frolicking and climbing up a tree in Brianna's backyard. She said this has never happened during her 25 years living in Worcester.

But the bears haven't just visited the Emond-Parkin family. They have been spotted making the rounds in Worcester neighborhoods.

"Mama bear, followed by one cub followed by a second cub and I was like 'what the heck is that' and it was pretty remarkable," Monique Gisele Morimoto said.
