Known Black Bear Eating Cookies From Her Hand
Occurred on June, 2016 / Hancock, Michigan, USA
Info from Licensor: "I am only able to hand feed the bears when I have had them for a couple of years. They learn and know who they can be comfortable with and who are strangers or aggressive or hunters. They know when I have company over and will be extremely leery, but as long as they see me, they won't usually run away. Humans are their worst enemies and predator. We need to learn how to co-exist with them. Please don't shoot them. If you leave them alone, they will leave you alone. They do not eat people!"
