The sunny weather has woken up some of our furry native friends, the bears. They have come out of a long hibernation and are ready to explore. They may look cute and cuddly, but they are far from that.
American Black Bear and Brown/Grizzly Bears are native to Alaska. Did you know that not all black bears are black, some are brown/cinnamon color.
Bear Aware: If you see a baby bear, be mindful that mama bear is likely close by. Like any protective mama, you don’t want to mess with her babies.
Do not feed the bears or keep food in a vehicle where they can get to. Make sure to keep your surroundings/garbage cans free of any food that can attract their attention. They have a keen sense of smell.
