Blink and you might miss it--Arizona Game and Fish shared this video with us of a black bear recently spotted. azgfdTucson says it recently confirmed the first bear signing of 2023. Check out some tips to learn how to BeBearWise this spring.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Black bears are a rare sight to see in the winter around here—according to the Arizona Game and Fish Department, they spend most of December through March in a state of semi-hibernation called torpor. It helps bears conserve energy when food supplies may be sparse.
AZGFD calls it being"BearWise," because ultimately too much human interaction is a dangerous prospect for any wild animal, and particularly bears. “Bears in search of food are often attracted to homes and into proximity with people. This close contact puts both humans and bears at risk. Most conflicts are the result of people unintentionally feeding bears, most often by allowing them access to household garbage, bird feeders, garden areas or trees bearing fruit,” said Raul Vega, Regional Supervisor of Game and Fish in Tucson.
If you do spot a bear that refuses to leave a populated area like your neighborhood or a campground, call AZGFD 236-7201.
