Headline of the day! It is not all sunshine in Florida!
What are the natural predators of bears if any for this apex predator other than humans?
What a spectacle for the alligators and crocodiles in Florida! 😊
"For the first time since 2015, Florida is bringing back its black bear hunt, citing a growing population of over 4,000 bears and rising human-bear encounters across the state.
Wildlife officials approved a 172-bear harvest for the Dec. 6–28 hunt, issuing permits via a lottery that drew more than 160,000 entries.
Conservation groups jumped in too, scooping up at least 39 permits to keep hunters out of the woods in a “bag a tag, spare a bear” effort.
Each permit allows one bear to be taken, and only licensed hunters 18 and older can participate. Officials say the hunt is guided by data, not politics, despite the controversy."
