Bears: Their Biology and Management
Bears are large mammals with keen senses, strong bodies, and adaptations for varied diets, from meat to plants. They are solitary creatures, except during mating or mother-cub groups. Managing bears involves understanding their behavior and habitats to reduce conflicts with humans. This includes securing food sources, avoiding attractants, and maintaining natural habitats. Proper management aims to protect bear populations while ensuring human safety, often through education and habitat conservation. Recognizing bear biology helps in creating coexistence strategies that sustain both these remarkable animals and local communities.
