Unveiling the Reasons Behind Wild Black Bears Attacking Human for "Food Protection” | CBCGDF CCAfa

Black bears have an instinct to protect their food. By analyzing cases of black bears attacking humans in the wild, you can find when bears that are foraging for food in the grass or eating with their heads down are being approached abruptly by strangers, they will launch an attack driven by their instinct to protect their food.

 

Why do black bears protect their food? Volunteers from the Black Bear Conservation Area of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), after conducting surveys and observing the habits of black bears, believe there are three main reasons: an instinct and part of their nature; the competition and the need for order; and fear or unease.

 


Black bears are large predators in the forest, at the top of the food chain, and with their hibernation habits, they require a large amount of food to meet their survival and metabolic needs. Understanding the food protection behavior of black bears is important for both protecting the bears and for our own safety. Do not approach black bears recklessly when they are feeding, and if you encounter a black bear while it is foraging, do not be afraid, as humans are not on the black bear's menu. In fact, there are simple and effective ways to prevent encounters between humans and bears. During the day, when entering the mountains, make noise to announce your presence; before entering the bushes, shout to warn, as the wild goods humans collect are also delicious to bears; at night, make a loud noise while walking, such as banging objects to alert the bears to retreat.

 

Black bears are spirited, grateful, vengeful, and clear in their likes and dislikes. If humans treat black bears well, they will regard humans as friends. If humans harm black bears, they will direct their anger towards any humans they encounter. Therefore, it is essential to create a harmonious coexistence and a community of shared destiny between humans and black bears, and to protect our shared natural ecological environment!
