Clarification regarding black bears in Missouri story...

First, we apologize for any confusion. We mentioned that Gene Fox of the Missouri Department of Conservation said that black bears are making a comeback in Missouri, which is indeed true, however the bear caught on camera by Jimmy Nissen does indeed appear to be a brown bear, although it's hard to tell.

More info regarding bears in Missouri is available on the MDC web site here.
