'Boo Boo' the Black Bear Gaining Fame In Md.

BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- A black bear named Boo Boo has become quite the celebrity here in Maryland.

Boo Boo has been frequenting Brenda K. Douglas's backyard in Hancock, Maryland since December 2015, CBS News reports.

Douglas says that the young bear initially came around the neighborhood with his mother and fellow cub, but recently it has been "standing" solo.

"Even when we see him out the window," Douglas says. "He seems to like to pose when someone is visible."

According to Douglas, when Boo Boo sees the camera he has a tendency to stand up on his hind legs.

"It makes me very happy that so many people are enjoying Boo Boo pictures with our family. ... He has become such a big celebrity and doesn't even know it," Douglas said.
