So.many.bears. So, so many in the Smokies!
Fun fact: Orlando also has a black bear problem. So much so that I had a friend who couldn’t let her kids wait at the school bus stop for fear of a possible bear attack. The tear through trash cans, get into people’s pool enclosures, etc. Seems crazy but it’s true - just google and lots of articles will come up!
Love the photos! No matter how far away I travel, every time I see the Appalachians, my heart tells me I’m home.
When we took the Starlight Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge in June the guide pointed out one of the nature reserves WDW has that is adjacent to AKL. She said that there are some bear that live in that plot of land. I was a little surprised but I remembered hearing about the bear problem in Florida awhile back. I live in northern Wisconsin and there are plenty of bear in our area, there is a nice walking trail through a wooded area nearby but I refuse to go by myself there because a couple of bear have been spotted there occasionally.
