Bear behaviour is being disrupted by changes in spring and summer weather conditions.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 been an odd year as far as the weather goes,香蕉视频直播� said Sam Webb, program coordinator for Wild Wise, a Vancouver Island-based volunteer organization that teaches people how to co-exist with wildlife through education.

香蕉视频直播淲eather definitely impacts bears香蕉视频直播� behaviour because it affects their food.香蕉视频直播�

Since this spring was unseasonably cold, fewer plants were available. The salmon spawning season was delayed due to drought, so bears had to find food elsewhere, such as in unsecured garbage containers.

The reduction in rainfall affected more than plants and berries, Webb said.

香蕉视频直播淪ince the rain wasn香蕉视频直播檛 as heavy this year and the Sooke River香蕉视频直播檚 not as high, it means people are getting closer to bears that are fishing,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 dangerous for people walking their dogs and disturbing the bears trying to eat.香蕉视频直播�

Wild Wise volunteers have been going to popular outdoor hotspots every weekend to pass out information on the need to respect wildlife.

香蕉视频直播淎 lot of people don香蕉视频直播檛 understand that bears don香蕉视频直播檛 hibernate because the weather香蕉视频直播檚 cold. They hibernate due to a lack of food,香蕉视频直播� Webb said.

香蕉视频直播淯nfortunately, the period we香蕉视频直播檙e in right now, hyperphagia, is when bears have an extreme drive to consume as much food as possible. That香蕉视频直播檚 why securing garbage is extremely important, especially at this time of the year, so bears will go into hibernation when their natural food sources dry up.香蕉视频直播�
