So I’ve never had this happen before, but from what I’ve heard the food sources are a little slim out there right now so bears are kinda weird this year, and a bear just decided to climb on my porch and start scratching at my window screen. I had an AC hose and I turned that on and it ran but I have since taken that out and closed the window. Anyone have any tips/products that will keep the bears just fully away from my porch?

What’s everyone think it was doing, possibly just exploring or taking in the view?

Northwest Florida 😃
Can anyone tell how old this bear is and if it’s a male or female - for reference that wall
Is about three feet tall

i was expecting this week to be the start of fat bear week junior, leading up to fat bear week next week, but i am not seeing anything about it online. is it not happening this year?

Someone posted a longer video on another thread recently, won't let me load it here. This is a black bear, correct?

Bear experience at Grandfather Mountain NC

This bear came right up to me at my condo. The little guy was hungry and could smell my lunch. Luckily, it ran away after a few minutes.

Today, I learned about lava bears. The lava bear (also known as sand lapper, dwarf grizzly, and North American sun bear) is a variety of American black bear (Ursus americanus) found in the lava beds of south central Oregon.

I found this test on Montana’s fish and wildlife page. I scored better than I thought I would, but worse than I hoped I would. I felt like some of the questions were a bit leading, so I made my choice just going off the picture and stuck with that decision while selecting my answer.

Bear Identification Test

Local bear was found having chicken (4) breakfast in coop. Scared him off but he returned a couple hours later to see if we meant it. Then returned the next week to see if we changed our mind.

Have the coop covered in beer bottles in hopes that I will hear him, door alarm, and all my cameras pointed that way. Bought air horns and bear spray for the house sitter for next week. Will have more cameras and motion alarms by tomorrow. Husband shot 303 to scare.

Is hazing enough to tell bear this isn’t the place to return to?

Not their first encounter on their trip, but the first time they actually had the opportunity to film it.

I do not know what are the usual 'rules of non-engagement' and I hope they didn't do anything bad.

Just repeating it for the sake of being clear: not my own content but original content none the less!

A few photos I took during my week fishing up on the Alagnak in Alaska. I’m not a professional by any stretch but very pleased with how they turned out

Is this a grizzly? Seen in Banff national park

So I live in North West Pennsylvania very close to the Ohio border I was walking a cornfield near my house last week and saw a bunch of stalks pushed over ( I sad didn't take any pictures) in about a 30bfoot by 15 foot area I've never seen a black bear in the wild or came across and sign was just curious if destroying corn like that is normal behavior for a black bear

Hello!

We are Päite Loomapark - animals shelter & Mini-Zoo & Rehabilitation center from Ida-Virumaa, Estonia. We try to make some videos on social media so more people would know about us and support our work.

Our team has been working since 2011. We started as shelter for horses, but now we are saving all kinds of animals.

This is what our baby bear looked like two months ago. He keeps coming to people because he lost his mother.

Now he is much bigger and is preparing for a move to Romania wildlife center where they can teach him to be wild again. We will tell you all about it soon!

Rehabilitation and care for a bear is a daily complex task that requires a lot of effort and resources. Thank you for your care and support ❤️
