Another stinkin' giant raccoon in the form of a bear. It's the same one that tried to get into our garbage a couple of weeks ago.

Story Updated: Sep 24, 2008 at 8:59 AM EDT GOLDEN GATE ESTATES, Fla. - For the second time in a week, a bear is spotted in a yard in Golden Gate Estates.
"I'm looking out the corner of my eye and I see these black legs, thinking somebody was walking up," Marsha Coulter says.
She soon found out, that somebody was a bear.
"I thought that maybe she was pulling my leg at first, then I looked out and that time I could see the nose of the bear coming around," her husband Ron Coulter says.
The Coulter's say the bear came right up the driveway, didn't go in the grass, but came to the sidewalk, walked right along here and up to their front door.
"As it came toward the kitchen, I thought wow, that's a big one. Its at that moment you are in awe of this huge animal in your yard," Marsha adds.
Ron was able to grab is video camera, and caught the bear on tape as it made its way around the back yard.
"He came right up onto the upper deck, went over and helped himself to the water, then just kind of sauntered back around and off toward the woods," Ron says.
The Coulters say they bear then climbed a fence in the backyard, and disappeared. They say this is the first time they've seen a bear, but they have heard stories about them being around in the past.
"I don't know what to think because I don't know what a bear like that will do," Marsha says.
While she isn't afraid, she says she'll be watching out now.
"I'm going to be watching when I go outside now, and you know, looking around for these big black legs," she says.
The bears have not hurt any people or animals, but to be safe, you should keep your distance, and never feed the bears.
