HOLDEN, La. – In what authorities are calling “a growing pattern of emotionally unstable wildlife behavior,” the man previously identified in Watson for wearing a bear costume to visit his children has now been spotted in a different Livingston Parish city—this time, trying to reconnect with a second set of kids in Holden.
The original incident, which made headlines last week, involved a woman who claimed the “bear” lurking near her Watson home was actually her ex-husband in disguise. Now, a second woman has come forward, stating, “Yeah, that’s him. I saw the Watson story and thought, ‘Huh, that bear looks familiar.’ Then I realized it was my baby daddy—and that he’s apparently got a whole other set of kids I never knew about.
Witnesses say that following the initial bear-man report, an unusually high number of desperate Livingston Parish women took to the woods—some in full makeup—after hearing a single man was roaming the area and “emotionally available, sort of.”
Officials say they’re continuing to monitor the situation and have issued an advisory to Livingston Parish’s vast baby mama population: assume any bear sighting is at least 60% likely to be your ex trying to see his kid(s).
