Despite the cold and snow this week, bears around Southcentral Alaska are slowly waking from a long winter of hibernating.
“We get a few reports of bears coming out of dens in March,” said Fish and Game Wildlife Biologist Tim Spivey.
Spivey said bears emerging from hibernation demonstrate different personalities: Some might appear lethargic while others might be full of energy and looking for food. Now is a critical time of year that Alaskans to take precautions and start making their property and bear aware and prepared. “It’s best for the public to start putting away bird feeders,” Spivey said. “Make sure there’s no attractants outside and available for bears to get into.”
