00:07We're trying to track bear behavioral patterns. Because of hurricane loading, a lot of deforestation has occurred.
00:17A lot of their environment has changed and these bears are going to have to move into new areas.
00:21And a lot of people that have not seen bears or ever had any interaction with bears,
00:25there's a very good possibility that they have bears in their front yard, their back yard, or on their porch.
00:32We're kind of stepping on their land here. How would you feel if a black bear came into our apartment?
00:38There's an absurd amount of bones at this spot. There's a whole skeleton over here. I think it's a deer
00:47skeleton or something.
00:48And with your long experience with working with bears and studying them, have you ever and yourself had any close
00:55cows or any interactions?
00:56Yes, I've had a few. And to be honest with you, the majority of the time that I've had it
01:00is when I surprised them.
01:03I showed up somewhere I wasn't supposed to be and I got there in a quiet mode or a sudden
01:10quick move that I got into an area that they were at.
01:22I might have overstayed our welcome a lot here. And I just need this to be over.
01:38Promise me you won't go out and get by yourself.
01:39No, I'm going out there and getting it myself.
01:42I'm going to the forest.
01:43No, I'll go with you. Just don't go there by yourself. Promise me.
01:47I'm going to the forest...
01:51No, I'm going to the forest...
01:56I got to.
