Black Bear Boom in Three Rivers, California

Lots and lots of black bears are moseying into town, and some folks have used the occasion to ask whether to reintroduce grizzly bears to California.

I don't know if that's gonna work, although grizzlies are actually native to the Golden State. The state's "bear flag" features a California grizzly bear.

Interesting, in any case.

At LAT, "A black bear boom has a California town wondering how residents would get along with grizzlies."
