Bears are reclaiming their historic Nev. territory
By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
What’s the difference between bears in Nevada and the Chicago Bears?
Bears in Nevada at least have a chance to recapture their glory days.
That’s according to research that shows black bears are spreading hundreds of miles beyond the Sierra Nevada and into Great Basin ranges they abandoned long ago.
It’s a far cry from less than 40 years ago when bears were thought to have been banished from the entire state.
