Closest I have seen a bear in this area was on 295 headed south near where Arundel Mills is now. When they first built it, they disturbed a lot of bear habitat. During the pandemic, there were bears very close to here north of the city but I didn't see them personally. I have seen whitetail deer in West Baltimore off of Frederick Avenue/Frederick Road. And there are foxes in my neighborhood now, just north of Northern Parkway on Park Heights.
