Horn Lake, MS -- The black bear spotted in the Horn Lake, Mississippi area is still out there somewhere.

It was last seen in a wooded area behind the Apple Creek Subdivision. Jimmy Massey was one of the last people to see the bear. "I saw something move in the trees, and there it was about 60 yards from me. It just stopped and stood there for about 30 seconds," Massey said.

Mississippi Wildlife Officials believe the bear may be lost or looking for a mate. They tried to pick up a signal from a tracking collar the bear may be wearing, but so far, their efforts have been unsuccessful.

Officials say if anyone comes in contact with the bear, they should not approach the animal, instead call state wildlife officials at (601) 432-2400.
