Bears on the Move in Colorado | Denver News

Colorado’s bear encounters are exploding this year—with over 6,000 sightings already, nearly double last year, and four attacks in just one week. Drought and wildfires have stripped bears of their natural food, forcing them into neighborhoods like Shauna Naous’s in Monument, where bears are now regular backyard visitors caught on security cameras. Wildlife officials are ramping up education efforts at community events, urging residents to secure trash, clean grills, remove bird feeders, and carry bear spray. With sightings expected to peak soon, awareness is the key to staying safe as these hungry animals roam closer to home.
