American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) Paw Prints

Apparently, a young black bear attempted to climb our water storage tank recently. We have had a very hot, dry spring (with a record-breaking heat wave), so maybe it was trying to access some water or even cool off? Additionally, it wrestled some of our piping out of the ground (which wasn't fully buried)--so that was an entertaining mess to stumble upon. :)
