Bears Raiding Neighborhoods in Colorado | Denver News

A Colorado man got swiped by a black bear while exiting a laundry room, tripped, and injured his foot—but survived thanks to quick medical care. Wildlife crews tried to capture the sow and her cubs, but a larger male may have driven them away. With drought crippling natural food sources, bears are increasingly raiding dumpsters, campus kitchens, backyards, and even hotel lobbies across Colorado as they desperately pack on weight before winter. Officials warn residents to secure trash, remove bear feeders, and never leave pet food out—because bear-human conflicts have nearly doubled this year. Stay vigilant: don’t feed them, and keep your distance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
