Last week, DNR confirmed the body of a black bear north of Bristol in Elkhart County. Preliminary results from the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory revealed the bear had many fractured bones, injuries that are consistent with a vehicle collision.
This was not the same black that had previously visited southern Indiana earlier this summer. If you see a bear, report it to the DNR at on.IN.gov/largemammal. Biologists use these reports to monitor bear activity and provide recommendations to local residents. Read more about the deceased bear: bit.ly/3D4G07f.
