North Carolina wildlife officials warn of increased bear activity
Original: NC Wildlife offers warning of increased bear activity as bears appetite grows
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is warning residents about a rise in bear activity across the state as the animals search for food. Officials are urging people to secure trash, remove bird feeders and avoid leaving food outdoors, since hungry bears wandering into neighborhoods can create dangerous encounters for both people and the animals themselves.
Why now: Bears are increasingly entering populated areas of North Carolina in search of food, prompting an official public safety warning.
