GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — Bear sightings all around Guilford County. From Browns Summit, to Summerfield right by the popular Greenway where there are always joggers and bicyclists.
Turns out, experts say black bears want nothing to do with us.
"They're going to want to move away from people, they don't want to interact with people," Lauren Davis with the Greensboro Science Center said. "People are scary {to them}."
Then how would you explain the little cub running around right in front of a Guilford County home?
Davis says construction is wiping out their habitats, and they're turning to our trash bins for food.
"There's a huge growth spurt that’s going on in Greensboro and surrounding areas, there's a lot of construction," Davis stressed. "And with that construction they're going to lose their natural habitat and push them into areas we don’t normally see them."
So should we be worried?
Are these bear sightings going to become more and more common in our backyards?
