Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:28:14 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Temperatures are rising, spring is in full bloom and bears are waking up from their long winter naps. That means they're hungry and looking for food. Colorado Parks and Wildlife said it has received 173 reports of bear activity in 25 counties so far this year. Many of the calls are coming from residential areas, as bears are attracted to the smell of food from unsecured trash cans and bird feeders. “Every time a bear gets a treat, a bird feeder, a hummingbird feeder, or trash, it teaches the bear that people mean food,” said Matt Yamashita, CPW’s area wildlife manager for Area 8, which covers Aspen, Glenwood Springs and Eagle and Pitkin counties. “People who think that it’s one time, no big deal, are totally wrong. It is a big deal when you compound that ‘one time’ with how many ‘one-timers’ they get from your neighbors, too. It adds up.” Mountain lion punctures 11-year-old girl’s face CPW said male bears, or boars, awaken first, followed by non-birth-giving femal...
