ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 3 (UPI) -- A biologist said her four-year study in Florida of ways to keep bears from searching garbage cans and camp sites found the wild animals are insistent foragers.
Biologist Rachel Mazur said by using a variety of methods to discourage the bears' foraging behaviors in Florida's Sequoia National Park, she learned most bears will return to a foraging site even if driven away, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel said Tuesday.
