Default Black bear numbers ‘quadruple’ at Yosemite as coronavirus keeps humans away

Black bear numbers ‘quadruple’ at Yosemite as coronavirus keeps humans away


April 14, 2020

America’s famous Yosemite National Park has seen a huge increase in black bears since it was closed to human visitors on March 20.

The coronavirus pandemic caused park officials to shut the gates in line with lockdown policies issued by the US government. But wildlife appears to be thriving as the tourists stay away.

Black bear numbers have quadrupled while other species like bobcats and coyotes have also increased, according to park rangers.
