Another bear has been spotted in Cobb County, this time around businesses and neighborhoods along Johnson Ferry and Roswell roads.
A resident of the East Hampton subdivision in east Cobb reported seeing the "mid-sized" black bear crossing a street Thursday morning. The bear, which was wearing a tracking collar, was also seen near a fitness club on Roswell Road.

The bear is at least the third one in the past month to make its way into Cobb County.
In late May and early June, bears were struck and killed on I-75 at I-285 and on Barrett Parkway at I-75.
It's not unusual for black bears to make their way from the forested foothills north of Atlanta into the suburbs, particularly in the spring and summer.
