A dry summer has left them with little to eat in the country's forests, so they have become bold and ventured into environments closer to humans.

CBS News' Elizabeth Palmer speaks with a biologist studying this phenomenon.The long snapper is a position in football that is widely unknown, yet it's one of the most important. CBS News' Jan Crawford sat down with Baltimore Ravens long snapper Tyler Ott to talk about the precision needed to be a long snapper, and tried it out for herself.Sha'kyra Aughtry was hailed as a hero for rescuing Joey White, a 64-year-old man, and bringing her into her home for the holidays during last year's massive snowstorm in Buffalo. She and her family cared for White for days, until help arrived. Now, a year later, here's a look at their close bond.
