It's one thing if a bear is spotted at near a college campus in northern Minnesota, but it's an entirely different animal when a bear is seen roaming through close to a campus in the Twin Cities metro area.
That's exactly what happened Sunday morning, according to the public safety department at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul.
"This morning, officers were flagged down on Mississippi River Blvd. A jogger reported seeing a young adult black bear walking near the river to the west of the road," the department tweeted.
