A friendly reminder to give our local wildlife plenty of space, especially at this time of year when many animals are caring for and protecting their young. If you encounter elk, admire them from a safe distance and never approach calves. Keeping your distance helps keep both people and wildlife safe. 🦌💚

Learn how to identify bear behaviour and understand what to do if you encounter one, so you can feel more confident out there and excited to explore.

Remember, bear incidents are rare, and there are steps you can take to help reduce the risk of a negative encounter.

🐻June is mating season for our bears🐻

🐻 Females have a delayed embryo implanting in late fall if fat reserves are enough, about 20,000 calories per day. If she doesn’t have enough reserve to feed her offspring in the den through winter, her body will absorb the embryo.
🐻Cubs will be born late January in the den.
🐻Cubs weigh 250-500 grams at birth, and are born deaf & blind.
🐻Bears may have 2-5 offspring’s but 2 is common.
🐻Females (sow) will keep the cubs with her for two seasons.
🐻The sow and her cubs will emerge from the den in April. They will weigh 2-5 kilograms.
🐻Female black bears typically reproduce every 2 years.
🐻Bears can live to 30 years old but typically 15-20 years in the wild.
🐻Cubs may be killed by other black bears, grizzlies, wolves, coyotes & cougars.

➡️ Bears need four things to survive: space, food, water, and shelter. We can help all bears and their cubs stay healthy and wild by securing household attractants and never feeding wildlife. When bears find natural food sources in the wild, they are less likely to enter our neighbourhoods. This keeps wildlife wild and our community safe. 🐻

Don’t be a Fawn-Napper!

It’s that time of year again where we remind the public to please not disturb fawns they may see alone outside – they are very likely not abandoned.

Every year, the BCCOS receives calls from well-intentioned people trying to ‘rescue’ fawns they believe are orphaned, but interfering can cause more harm than good.

We understand they are cute and appear defenceless, but please be assured it is common for does to leave their fawns for hours at a time while they forage for food. Moving a fawn can result in it not being able to reunite with its mother, thus greatly reducing its chances of survival. Leaving newborn deer alone is the best thing you can do to help them.

Taking a fawn into your care is also illegal under the Wildlife Act, and people can be fined for unlawful possession of live wildlife.

Please also remember to keep your pets on a leash, as deer can become aggressive when protecting their young.

If you are concerned a fawn is injured or abandoned, please call the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277.
