Global warming forces grizzly bears of Yellowstone to wake up before schedule


#grizzlybears #yellowstonenationalpark #bearspray #globalwarming Global warming is taking its toll on the grizzly bears of Yellowstone National Park because, this year, they have women up before time – on Feb 9, a grizzly has found to be feasting on a bison carcass and, that is roughly a month earlier than usual.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 19 February 2015.
Normally, visitors to Yellowstone in February do not need to be worried about running into a grizzly bear but, this year, they are being advised to pack the bear spray.
As revealed by officials of the Park, they have come across unseasonably warm temperatures this winter and believe that the reason is probably the warm climate.
Of course, they have added that the warm climate is an indicator, but it does not imply that there is a rush of bears leaving their dens. However, spotting one could mean that there could be others and the fact that it was eating would probably means that it had come out of its den for good.
There are nearly 600 grizzlies in the greater Yellowstone region, and they account for over half of the total population of bears in the lower 48 states.
