It's been a long time since we last caught sight of the infamous bear but on Wednesday, March 7 Sippican Week received word that the bear had been spotted in Mattapoisett.

And she, not he, was not alone. The bear was spotted with her cub.

The bear was last seen in November, and without any new word on her location, officials said she had moved on.

"The last information we have is that the bear is back in Middleboro," said Reginald Zimmerman, assistant press secretary for the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
