Awake for Winter: Tahoe Bears Not Hibernating

14 Jan 2014

Nevada wildlife officials say bears in the Tahoe Basin aren’t hibernating due to the mild winter weather, and that instead the animals are looking out looking for food, and getting closer to people. (Jan. 14).

In northern Europe winter weather so far may be mild, causing bears not to hibernate there as well etc; but elsewhere in North america, a “polar vortex” brings extremely cold weather.
