Bears Coming Down

Wildlife officials are reminding Colorado residents to be wary of black bears.

Drought is driving them further down the mountains than normal.

Lack of water, and food shortages are forcing the move to lower altitudes in search of nourishment.

Already, bears and cubs have been seen in many towns in, and near, the mountains.

Residents, and visitors, should be reminded to never get between a mother and her cub.

To avoid attracting them, be sure not to leave food in your car, and keep all doors and big enough windows closed and locked.
