Bear Attack in Eagle Colorado | Denver News

A mama black bear in Eagle mauled a man after he startled her while leaving the laundry room—she’s got cubs, and a larger male may have pushed her into aggression. Wildlife crews are tracking her, but suspect the big bear is keeping the family hidden. With drought shrinking natural food sources, bears are getting bolder, raiding dumpsters and venturing closer to homes. Colorado Parks and Wildlife urges everyone to lock up all food-smelling items, never feed bears, and back away slowly if you spot one—don’t play dead, fight back if necessary. This late-summer push for weight gain means bears are more active—and more dangerous—than ever. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
