Los Angeles Bear Encounters Have Reached Record LevelsA rise in interactions with black bears across the region has led to concerns for local residential communities.
Los Angeles wildlife reporting spans the canyons and hillside neighborhoods where animals move into residential areas, the coastline and its marine species, and the rescue and rehabilitation work that follows encounters. Coverage reaches across the city and into the mountains and foothills around it wherever a wildlife story crosses the line. Coyotes, raccoons and birds of prey generate more stories here than almost any other species because they live closest to people. Habitat fragmentation from freeways and development is the constraint behind many of the encounters that make the news.
