Creature Comforts | Black Bear Updates

The black bear and Mississippi have a storied history together, dating back to the days of President Theodore Roosevelt. Today on the show we welcome Anthony Ballard from the Mississippi Dept. of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks to talk about the black bear and the Black Bear Program. We will get an update about the bear population, where they are found, and what to do if you come face to face with one of these mighty creatures. As always, Dr. Troy Majure, DVM, with the Animal Medical Center and Libby Hartfield, Retired Director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, is here if you have any concerns about your furry friends or general wildlife experiences.
