Bear Territory

Bear territory refers to the specific area that a bear actively considers its home range, where it searches for food, mates, and shelter. These territories vary in size depending on the bear species, habitat, and resources available. Bears are generally territorial but may overlap areas, especially during mating season. Respectting bear territory helps prevent conflicts; humans should avoid disturbing these areas and store food securely when in bear habitats. Understanding bear territory is essential for safety and conservation, ensuring both human and bear populations can coexist with minimal stress and risk.
