Nature | The Good, the Bad, and the Grizzly: This is Their Land
The park rangers of Yellowstone National Park have the difficult task of keeping both its visitors and animals safe. This often means limiting human interaction with wildlife in an attempt to prevent animal habituation to human presence, which can jeopardize the safety of the park's inhabitants and visitors. The grizzly bears of Yellowstone have a history of habituation, and they are at constant risk of being conditioned to human foods due to improper disposal of food at camp sites. In this video segment from Nature, learn about the challenges of managing the grizzly bears and their admirers at Yellowstone National Park.
