Episode 8 – Myths & Misconceptions
There are many myths and misconceptions about the North American black bear. Join Philip as he reviews the myths and counter these with the facts. This episode dives into folklore, misunderstood behavior, and scientific truths, all in an effort to separate fact from fiction including topics on hibernation, menstruation misconception and how removing a bear, but not an attractant, doesn’t solve the problem. Plus, we have a new feature, the Sub Species Spotlight and we hear from former staff member, Melia Marquez about a bear she connected with.
