Nicholas Lyons+FollowBear encounter shakes up Glacier National ParkA hiker in Glacier National Park had a terrifying brush with a brown bear and her cubs near Lake Janet, but quick thinking and bear spray kept things from turning tragic.

This close call is a reminder for everyone to stay alert and prepared on Montana’s wild trails. How do you feel about the park’s decision not to track the bear? Would you feel safe hiking there? #Travel #GlacierNationalPark #BearSafety5415Share

Richard Vaughan+FollowKnoxville’s bear problem: Why feeding them puts us all at riskPeople are leaving food out for bears in West Knoxville, and it’s creating a real safety issue for both the animals and our neighborhoods.

Even though it’s not illegal everywhere, wildlife experts say this behavior is on the rise. Have you noticed more bear activity around your area? What steps are you taking to keep your property bear-wise? Let’s talk about how we can protect both our community and the bears. #Science #Knoxville #BearSafety00Share

Tanya Jackson+FollowGrizzly Outsmarts Dumpsters, Faces Tragic EndA 400-lb. grizzly in Yellowstone figured out how to flip 800-lb. dumpsters and rip trash cans from concrete just to get to human food.
