Bears in Florida - Search Videos

Naples sits at the edge of a fragile ecosystem where black bears, Florida panthers, and people quietly coexist along sandy backroads, pine flatwoods, and hidden trails shaped by centuries of natural movement. Encounters here are driven by instinct, territory, and survival, not by spectacle. A panther moving at full speed can be reacting to scent, sound, or a larger predator close behind. A bear appearing seconds later reflects how overlapping ranges in Collier County often bring species together

Florida just held its first black bear hunt in a decade. 52 bears were killed. And here is what is so disturbing. There was no clear scientific justification for it. Bears were not overpopulated. Conflict levels did not demand lethal action. Independent scientists and conservation groups raised serious concerns and were ignored. Instead, permits were issued and innocent bears paid the price. Shooting a bear is irreversible. Once the trigger is pulled, there is no management. No learning. No seco

Bear-Aware in Spring Spring for us = longer days, warmer weather and more time outside. But for black bears, spring means it’s time to EAT! Bears become more active throughout the state this time of year, including mama bears teaching their cubs the best spots to find food. So don’t be that guy – the one that teaches bears that your yard (and consequently your neighborhood) is the place to be for a free, easy meal. Check out this BearWise® clip and follow these tips on removing food attractants
