Black bears tend to be shy and non-aggressive toward humans, according to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
The state agency offered tips to avoid problems with bears:
- Never feed or approach bears
- Secure food, garbage, and recycling
- Remove bird feeders when bears are active
- Never leave pet food out
- Clean and store grills
- Let neighbors know about bear activity
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources commission says, if you see a bear, stay calm. They are usually wary of people - unless humans feed or provoke them.
Never approach, surround, or corner a bear. If it changes its natural behavior because of your presence, you are too close. Back away slowly and once you are a safe distance away from the bear, make lots of noise to frighten the bear away.
