Understanding Bears

Living in a world of tweets, texts and mobile devices has made us impatient. "Never mind all this background stuff, just tell me how to keep bears out of my garbage."

But if you take the time to understand what makes bears tick, your human light bulb will go off, and you'll have a much easier time of appreciating bears – and preventing them from creating problems for you.

That's why several chapters in Living with Bears Handbook are devoted to bear basics, like where bears live, what they eat and why the very same traits that make them successful omnivores can get them into trouble with their human neighbors.
