Mark your calendars now for what will surely be an interesting and informative talk about the Florida black bear, presented by David Jacob, with FWCC.
As northwest Florida grows, encounters with black bears occur more and more. It's important to learn all we can about these amazing animals in order to better understand how to co-exist with them
Mr. Jacob has worked with the FWCC as the West Panhandle Area Bear Biologist for four years.
He has an undergraduate degree in zoology and a master's in environmental management from Duke University.
Prior to working with bears, he worked with several other species including iguanas, sea turtles, and wolves.
When not working he likes going to the beach, snowboarding, and traveling.
