Black Bears | Dogs and other pets | Snakes | Wildlife | Deer Collisions
Our national forests provide habitat for wild animals, including dangerous animals like bears and venomous snakes. Wild animals can be upset by human presence and can unexpectedly become aggressive. Do not give them a reason or an opportunity to attack. Always keep your distance. Your safety is your responsibility.
As fascinating as wild animals are, they are unpredictable and can be dangerous. If you see a wild animal of any kind, you should avoid direct interaction with it. Following these tips will help protect you from a potentially unpleasant experience as well as protecting the wildlife.
