Bears Move Into Western Towns
Colorado reports nearly doubled, Utah responses more than doubled, and hungry bears in hyperphagia are testing towns nightly.
最初掌握的資訊
- Colorado logged 6,129 bear reports Jan. 1-Aug. 13, nearly double the prior year.
- Utah agencies responded 168 times by Aug. 25, more than double all of last year.
- Four August attacks occurred in Aspen, Snowmass, Steamboat Springs and EagleVail.
- Officials link the surge to drought, poor natural foods and hyperphagia foraging.
當時尚無定論
- No verified count exists of individual bears involved, as reports include repeat sightings and calls.
- It is not established how much of the surge reflects learned urban foraging versus this year's food failure alone.
我們說過將關注的
- Whether fall hyperphagia brings more town visits and home entries through October.
- Whether early reporting and secured attractants reduce conflicts in Denver and High Country towns.
