- Generally bears are not dangerous to humans,
choosing to flee when people approach!
- A bear is most likely to be dangerous when
it has not found a hibernation site, when it has been disturbed from hibernation, or if it
has not built a sufficient fat supply and cannot "fall asleep" to hibernate!
- A newborn bear weighs less than a pound!
They gain sight after 29-35 days!
- Mothers are very good and they spend a lot
of time raising the young and moving them when they are in danger!
