There have been multiple sightings of a black bear in some unusual locations on the seacoast of New Hampshire and in southern Maine.

Ashley Varney posted video to social media of the bear walking along a jetty by the ocean in Rye, New Hampshire on Friday. The bear can be seen carefully navigating the rocks near the Seacoast Science Center at Odiorne Point State Park.

“I’d say the first boat day of the season was a pretty memorable one,” she wrote. “So wild.”
