Black bears have wandered into the town in greater numbers since a wildfire forced some 90,000 residents from the area earlier this month, leaving behind trash cans, dumpsters, and even thawing freezers rife with food, authorities said.
“They are smart and adaptive. They can smell food from kilometers (miles) away,” said Brendan Cox, a spokesman for the province’s fish and wildlife enforcement branch. “Just as you and I go to the nearby grocery store, or our favorite restaurant, the bears continue to return to a particular food source.”
