Summary: The black bears in Utah have come out of hibernation as the climate has started to warm up. Each winter, Utah scientists use signals from collared bears to find the dens where they and their cubs are hibernating. In early 2015 Utah's weather was so warm that the mother bears had already left their dens. Scientists are nervous because the bears are coming out too soon. There's nothing to eat and not much water. This early rising might cause the population of bears in southeastern Utah to decrease by a bit.
Analysis: It's sad that the black bears have left their caves so early! Now a lot of the cubs will have trouble finding food and may starve to death. Hopefully the majority if not all the bears are able to find enough food to last until springtime.
