Black bear sightings are becoming increasingly common in Connecticut as the animal's population grows.
"Observe black bears from a distance, advertise your presence with noise or movement and walk slowly away if you encounter one," the notice said."Never attempt to feed or attract black bears."
The agency offers the following recommendations for staying safe around black bears while hiking or camping: Keep dogs on a leash and under control. A roaming dog might be perceived as a threat to a bear or its cubs.Be offensive if the bear approaches you. Make more noise, wave your arms, and throw objects at the bear. Black bears rarely attack humans. If you are attacked, do not play dead. Fight back with anything available.DON'T run or climb a tree. If possible, wait in a vehicle or building until the bear leaves the area.
Due to the rising population, the bears are being seen more often in heavily populated areas and, consequently, the number of black-bear-related problems is also increasing, according to the DEEP.
