Though Savoy High School might be home to the Cardinals, the talk of the town is a black bear that was spotted exploring an area gas station.

Savoy Police Chief Robert Null was called around 9:30 Wednesday night that the bear was walking around a post office, and security cameras followed him as he made his way to a convenience store.


He told NBC DFW, "I'm thinking I don't think this is going to be a bear, and so I called one of the deputies that responded, and he said, 'No, it's absolutely a bear.' He said, 'It ran across my car when I was on my way over there."

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said at this time of year, young bears are leaving their mothers and can wind up in unusual places.

The department says that should you encounter a black bear in the wild, you should remain calm, keep your distance, and do not run or attempt to feed it.
