When was the last time a bear was seen in Africa?

Bears are not native to Africa, and as such, they are not typically found in the wild on the continent. The last recorded sightings of bears in Africa would likely be in captivity, such as in zoos or wildlife reserves. Historically, the closest bear species, the Atlas bear, was native to North Africa but is now extinct, with the last confirmed sighting occurring in the early 20th century.
