Black Bears in Anchorage - Exploring Nature by Sheila Newenham
.
The fantastic thing about heading out into nature, whether it's your backyard (caterpillars, goose/coyote) or Anchorage's backyard, is that there is always something to learn, always something unique to see, and something to heal you. I had no idea black bears would hibernate in hollows up in trees. I thought they were always in the ground. I also didn't expect any bears to be awake yet. There's at least three feet of snow on the ground.
