Happy World Bear Day! #WorldBearDay
We're celebrating by sharing this Grizzly Bear story with you.
Dawson and Knute are permanent residents of the BC Wildlife Park because they were orphaned at a very young age. The team at the Wildlife Park felt this video was an especially valuable one to create, because it highlights the importance of keeping bears away from our food sources (including garbage).
Unfortunately, as soon as a bear learns of a readily available human food source, they can't unlearn this behaviour, which can sadly result in the bear needing to be euthanized. This is something to keep in mind, as we move into Spring and see bears coming out of hibernation.
