Bears Are Waking Up — Because It’s Too Warm, Too Soon

There have been bear sightings in February and early March in Russia, Finland, Canada, and the US. In Banff in Canada, a grizzly bear was spotted on March 3, and in Yellowstone Park in the US, another grizzly was seen on March 7. According to Yellowstone’s website, male grizzlies normally come out of hibernation in mid- to late March, and females with cubs emerge later, in April to early May. This is a problem because if they wake up too early, there isn’t enough of their omnivorous diet for them to eat.
