Great catch, mama bear! Yosemite's black bears are hard at work celebrating #FatBearWeek alongside their cousins at Katmai National Park & Preserve! Consumed by... the thousands, the annual run of wild acorns...erm...abundant acorn crop helps bears pile on the pounds for the long winter ahead. Joking aside, black oak trees in fall and a river full of spawning salmon have something in commonthey concentrate crucial food resources in one place, forcing normally-solitary animals to gather. On one day last week, 20 different bears were spotted in a single area! This 10-year-old female was tagged by wildlife biologists in 2015 after spending time near developed areas, but has not become conditioned to human food. Please keep her and her two cubs wild by staying at least 50 yards (think four bus-lengths) away from any bear in Yosemite, and always storing your food and trash properly.
