While we love seeing the cute bear interactions, like these two cubs that playfully entered a nursing home recently in North Carolina, not all bear/human encounters are that peaceful.
You might remember hearing the story about a young bear that wandered into Rock Springs, Wyoming in early October. Good news. That bear now has a new home and lots of new animal friends.
Every runner has different goals when they go out for a jog. I'm guessing that none include having your leg swatted by a bear, but that's exactly what happened to one jogger recently.
I have never seen a bear encounter quite like this one. Three girls were hiking when they were confronted by a black bear who sniffed and hugged one of them. Her response showed nerves of steel.
