Description: Wild bears are enormous animals with huge appetites. When they are unable to find enough food in their usual habitat, they become bold enough to leave the forest. Driven by hunger, they search desperately near farms, houses and towns for crops or scraps of food. Because this environment is unfamiliar to them, wandering bears can cause danger to themselves and to people. This story is based on true incidents.
