WILDLIFE -- Florida wildlife officers trapped and killed the biggest Florida black bear on record Sunday in Longwood.The mammoth animal, which had been roaming Seminole County neighborhoods and causing safety concerns for more than a month, weighed 740 pounds -- that's heavier than the combined weight of Seattle Seahawks offensive linemen Alvin Bailey (G, 320 pounds) and (Justin Britt (T, 325).

According to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, the new heavyweight is more than 100 pounds heavier than the previous Florida record, a 620-pound black bear caught in Paisley in 2013.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, The Longwood bear most likely beefed up on a buffet of curbside garbage in addition to the normal  diet of nuts, berries and sabal-palm hearts.

Residents had complained for weeks about a large beast with white chest markings that had been wandering through their yards and streets. State wildlife officials are taking a more aggressive approach to bear conflicts follows the mauling of two Seminole County women and a teen-age girl in the Panhandle during the past 13 months, the injury of a 68-year-old woman in Heathrow and the growing number of human-bear encounters.

But this one was a whopper. Adult male black bears weigh on average about 250 pounds, though they range between 125 and 600 pounds, according to the American Bear Association. Females are usually smaller, though they can tip the scales at 300 pounds or more. The bears in the Seminole County incidents were smaller females with cubs.
