there's bear in the desert? Is it a desert? Where are the trees?

    Black bears used to live in almost the entirety of the continental United States and Canada. They prefer woodland areas but can get by anywhere with food and water. My first guess would be that this bear lives in or near an urban area.

    Cochise county is the south eastern corner of AZ. It’s about 50/50 Sonoran desert and mountainous area. This definitely appears to be the desert area. I’ve never seen a bear outside mountainous areas personally, pretty sure that’s a rare occurrence.
