Black bears are essentially very shy and non-aggressive. It is not likely that your friend was in any danger from the bear. It has never acted aggressively towards any humans. The 'sniffing' behavior isn't any kind of threat. It's just going about its business. It may be attracted to something in your yard or it may just be walking from one place to another - this is not a suburban area where a bear would have to be 'attracted' to something in order to get here. We should all be more careful with our trash (I notice lots of trash cans tipped over in the early mornings) and our pet food... but we should all do that anyway, to deter other wildlife such as coyotes, raccoons, skunks, etc.<br /><br />On the same note - someone has been feeding the deer again. I can tell by the way they are acting. Please stop it. It will lead to their deaths. And anything you put out to feed deer will also attract bears and other animals.MaryEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773548532841445693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30297179.post-80601646553494310352009-06-06T17:18:51.318-07:002009-06-06T17:18:51.318-07:00Do us all a favor and just leave him alone...........Do us all a favor and just leave him alone........raise a fuss and the wardens will shoot it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
