This year, bears are wrestling with very challenging conditions. One of them is lack of food, a shortage of berries and other foods that bears normally rely before hibernation has sent into conflicts with humans in the Rocky Mountain West. This lack of food caused bears that used to live in the mountain come into the cities. We can found bears are foraging in garbage cans, such as in; golf courses, cities centers, and many others place. And in the late spring snows, which blanketed the high country, pushed bears to lower elevations earlier, delayed or even destroyed the crop of fruit-producing shrubs bears favor, such as huckleberries and hawthorns. Conflicts between wildlife and humans almost always center on food. When supplies of nourishment are low in the mountains, bears move closer to the valleys, where people live and livestock is conveniently located.
