ANDERSON COUNTY, Texas — A game camera in Anderson County captured footage of an unexpected visitor -- a black bear -- on Tuesday.

Jim Missildine's camera recorded the footage around noon near the intersection of Highway 19 and Highway 287, just south of Elkhart.

At first, Missildine didn't know what he was looking at.

"I thought it was my neighbor's dog until I zoomed in on it," he said.

It wasn't his neighbor's dog. It was a black bear.
