Bear behaviour is being disrupted by changes in spring and summer weather conditions.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 been an odd year as far as the weather goes,91裸聊视频� said Sam Webb, program coordinator for Wild Wise, a Vancouver Island-based volunteer organization that teaches people how to co-exist with wildlife through education.

91裸聊视频淲eather definitely impacts bears91裸聊视频� behaviour because it affects their food.91裸聊视频�

Since this spring was unseasonably cold, fewer plants were available. The salmon spawning season was delayed due to drought, so bears had to find food elsewhere, such as in unsecured garbage containers.

The reduction in rainfall affected more than plants and berries, Webb said.

91裸聊视频淪ince the rain wasn91裸聊视频檛 as heavy this year and the Sooke River91裸聊视频檚 not as high, it means people are getting closer to bears that are fishing,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 dangerous for people walking their dogs and disturbing the bears trying to eat.91裸聊视频�

Wild Wise volunteers have been going to popular outdoor hotspots every weekend to pass out information on the need to respect wildlife.

91裸聊视频淎 lot of people don91裸聊视频檛 understand that bears don91裸聊视频檛 hibernate because the weather91裸聊视频檚 cold. They hibernate due to a lack of food,91裸聊视频� Webb said.

91裸聊视频淯nfortunately, the period we91裸聊视频檙e in right now, hyperphagia, is when bears have an extreme drive to consume as much food as possible. That91裸聊视频檚 why securing garbage is extremely important, especially at this time of the year, so bears will go into hibernation when their natural food sources dry up.91裸聊视频�
