Colorado’s bears are hungry and are dining in town. Drought and weak acorn and berry crops are sending more bears to rummage around homes and restaurants.
The Colorado Sun reports that the drought has reduced acorn and berry production, leaving bears with fewer natural food options. As a result, more bears are entering towns, rummaging through homes and restaurants in search of food. Authorities are monitoring the situation as the bears continue to seek food in urban areas.
