Witnesses say the boat was docked near downtown Naples, a city on the southern Gulf Coast of Florida.

Local officials encouraged individuals to contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to report a human-bear conflict or a sick, injured, orphaned or dead bear.

A three-legged bear broke into the patio of a Florida home, startling a 13-year-old boy and his dog.
