ESTERO, FL — Bella Terra, a Florida community south of Fort Myers, is usually a quiet community.
“Everybody is buzzing about it,” resident Dennis Anderson said.
Friday morning before Easter, Caroline Tidwell woke up to what she thought was her husband getting ready for work. “It almost sounded like the Venetian blinds went off track, so it was like tick tick tick tick,” she said.
It wasn’t her husband. It was a 400-pound black bear.”He was making slobbering noises and bear noises.”
