Study Shows Bears Prefer Vans
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) According to an Associated Press report found in the Boston Globe, a study has shown that the black bears that live in Yosemite National Park prefer vans. They cite a study published this month in the Journal of Mammalogy that says minivans driven by families with children who leave behind a trail of spilled juice boxes, Cheerios and coolers carrying other snacks are overwhelmingly preferred by the bears.
They report that park scientists found that the bears tore up minivans more frequently than other types of vehicles and that minivans represented 29 percent of the 908 vehicles torn into by bears between 2001 and 2007, even though they made up just 7 percent of the cars that visited Yosemite.
The researchers investigated the relationship after noticing that bears seemed to target that particular vehicle type. By all accounts, no bears were harmed in performance of this study or publishing the results.
