KNOW YOUR BEARS
Wyoming is home to both black bears and grizzly bears.
It is important to know the difference between the two, whether you are a hunter or an occasional hiker. Although grizzly bears are often more aggressive, black bears can still be dangerous. Being able to identify the species can help you stay safe in bear country. When identifying a bear, make sure to use all four good characteristics to determine the species. Never use just color or size to identify a bear.
