Statement from IDNR Director Marc Miller on American Black Bear Sightings

 
 Volume/Number:  2014 June 11 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  The recent sighting of an American black bear in northwest Illinois has, understandably, generated many questions. While these animals once roamed the Illinois landscape 150 years ago, seeing one today can be, at the very least, a startling sight. While the black bear sighted most recently has shown no aggressive behavior towards humans, it should not be approached. Help us keep this bear from being accustomed to people. Always observe wildlife from a distance.
