Some black bear cubs in California are reportedly developing an unexplained illness in which they exhibit “dog-like” behavior and are rather friendly and not afraid of people. According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, (https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Mammals/Black-Bear/Blog/tag/encephalitis) the agency picked up a female black bear cub in February displaying this kind of behavior. The cub was found east of Sacramento in Pollock Pines.

The Bear Lives Matter movement has to be the reason.

Could it be rabies? (although that wouldn't be very mysterious) also watch out for momma bear!!

I have cuts on my arms from my sons overly friendly pit bull.

I'm not going to play with bears.

I hope they find out what is causing this neurological condition since it appears to be fatal.
