Yosemite bear encounters down as campers wise up
The black bears of Yosemite National Park are no longer waltzing into campsites, breaking into cars and scarfing tourist food with impunity under the majestic granite domes and soaring waterfalls.
Hungry bruins were responsible for only 76 aggressive or destructive incidents in the park this year — the fewest since record-keeping began in 1975, Yosemite officials said Thursday. None of this year’s incidents involved injuries.
That’s compared with some 1,600 bear-human incidents recorded in the peak year of 1998, a 95 percent decrease.
