Return to Story IndexBLACK BEAR DEN
EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY EXPLAINS IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE REPORT. We went to Boone County one snowy day looking for a black bear and her cubs wondering how they were riding out this long, cold winter. After tracking her to this tiny hole in the ground, biologists figured they were all doing fine. 35:20Eric Richmond/DNR Biologist says:(tighten this up a bit please) "As you can see by the hole, we had to excavate this ourselves to get in there. The hole was a little bit smaller than what you can see now. That much colder air was not able to enter the den being a tight fit in the rocks and the dirt around that-she was quite insulated from the cold weather." 32:33Patrick McMurtry/Eyewitness News says: (use the nats of cub inside to start the bite) "These cubs are still inside here. There's a lot of snow around here and it's been that way for the last several months and it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon. This is what they need to survive." Black bears find shelter for the winter in many different places, but they all have one common denominator: rain and snow can't get in. 25:33Gary Sharp DNR biologist says: Generally, the most common bear den is an excavation under a root ball, but whenever they get in a rock crevice like this, they can be a pretty tight fit. Typically when a bear picks its den, it's a place where if we get a lot of water, it will stay dry." 36:29 "Bears are just like us, they become wiser with age." That's why you'll see bears making their first dens in places you'd never expect-places which could use a little home improvements. 37:14Eric Richmond/DNR Biologist says: "We've found bears in brush piles, which offer very little cover from the elements, root balls, uprooted trees where they've excavated back in the earth. Rock holes like you see here which is what we all think of as a typical bear den, and, surprisingly enough, we've found bears in hollowed trees." And we've been there with the bears and the biologists every step of the way. For West Virginia Wildlife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News.
