My son and i saw a mother bear and a teenage bear in front of 95 Julianna last night at 6pm.
they were eating or trying to eat from a garbage dumpster they had turned over.
we walked away quickly and carefully. the bears turned away.
600 pounds maybe for the larger bear and 200 lb for the smaller bear?
both black bears as i don't think we have brown bears in NY state.
Thoughts: maybe all dumpsters should be required to be in Bear-Proof containers?
