It really does have to do with expanding into their territory. example, if you clear a lot of woods where there are several copperhead dens, then start building are you at a higher risk for a bite from stepping on one since they camoflauge and adapt? Or lower risk?
Same thing with bears. Except bears are mammals and have higher thought. They go through garbage scour for food scraps left out, etc. They lose their fear of people when they associate people with something tasty like free food from the garbage can or fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI've actually conducted a very informal study on how people perceive randomness by showing folks a large checkerboard and asking them to randomly place a dozen markers on it in what they would consider random order. In almost every case they tend to be careful to set them down well apart from one another. But that is not always how randomness happens. Often randomness causes things to happen close together, to cluster.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'll ask someone if they flip a coin nine times and it lands heads up every single time what are the odds that on the next flip of it also coming up heads. If they don't say 50-50 I figure they're someone I want to play poker with.

There is reported to be a mother brown bear and two cubs in our neighborhood.
