Clean Up Your Food Please

7/22/2016

This is a three year old female Shenandoah National Park Black Bear that I've known since she was just a cub. She's a really good bear but unfortunately has gotten into trouble this year in one of the park's campgrounds. The park service is now trying to relocate her to a remote area in the park away from people....where she will have to compete with other bears for food and territory. She will be having her first litter of cubs next year and it is sad that she may not get to raise them in HER home..... I took this photo the other day while out in the park with our out-of-town friends. It was very nice of her to cooperate for us and every time I see her I realize it may be the last time that I see her in her home...
When in Bear Country PLEASE keep all your food and trash secured in a LOCKED vehicle with windows ALL THE WAY up (at least two bears, likely including this one, got into trouble this year in that campground because people left food in an unlocked vehicle. Bears can break into that!) to avoid creating more "Good Bears Gone Bad" like this one! Thank you!!
