Black Bears!

I love bears.
I love everything about them. When I go camping with my family, I am on bear-watch the entire time.  I think they are beautiful animals and super fascinating. So, when I found this article in which experts say that the black bear population is on the rise, I got very excited:

"Forty years after being hunted to near-extinction in many parts of the U.S., black bears have become so plentiful that they are causing trouble for their human neighbors—ripping open camping tents in Colorado, attacking dogs in New Jersey, even breaking into a home in Florida to nab a birthday cake from the kitchen counter."


I just wanted to share this. It appears that this rise in population might be doing a little harm, but as of now, I am just glad that they aren't near extinction anymore.
