Riding a bike? Never learned. Feeling like an outsider? Always. In this episode of Deep in Bear Country, I get personal — and a little philosophical — about why bike riding has always baffled me, and how The Berenstain Bears’ Bike Lesson accidentally became a warning about life, failure, and stubborn optimism. Plus: a weird … Continue reading "Episode 483 – The Berenstain Bears’ The Bike Lesson!"

The Berenstain Bears finally meet real bears—and everything we thought we knew about Bear Country changes. This week, I break down “The Berenstain Bears: Here Come the Bears!”, a brand-new Level 1 reader that seems simple… but hides big implications about evolution, cultural identity, and the Berenstain multiverse.

“We ate our honey. We ate a lot. Now we have no honey in our honey pot!” This week on Deep in Bear Country, we're taking a nostalgic look back at The Big Honey Hunt (1963)—the very first Berenstain Bears book!

Why does Brother Bear have zero clue what … Continue reading "Episode 477 – The Berenstain Bears’ St. Patrick’s Day"

After a slumber party send-off, Dawn spends spring break in Orange County with her father and brother and tries on a more laid-back lifestyle among many other blondes making similar snack (but questionable beach) choices. Dawn considers what her quotidian routine would be like if she decides to stay, and whether the abundant sunshine and other items on the California pros list win out over the few on the Stoneybrook one. Slide into the booth beside us at Cabbages and Kings as we hash over pizza fouls, flight attendant fails, and preferred alternatives to LAX in our reivew of Dawn on the Coast.As mentioned on this episode:Sardi's portraits artists: Alex Gard, John Mackey, Donald Bevan, and Richard BaratzA glimpse of the TV-on-a-cart scene from Back to the Future (1985)List of BSC books written by Ann M.

Buckle up, Bear Country—this one's a doozy. This week, we dive into The Berenstain Bears: God Made You Special, a book that on the surface has the best of intentions but stumbles hard into some serious pitfalls. What happens when a children's book about faith and differences accidentally reinforces inspiration porn, infantilization, and outdated disability … Continue reading "Episode 476 – The Berenstain Bears: God Made You Special"

Did The Berenstain Bears' New Neighbors really tackle racism? Or was it just another 90s attempt at a “message book” that missed the mark?

Understanding the Challenges of Black Bear Management: Insights from Stephen Vantassel In this comprehensive episode of the Living the Wildlife podcast, Stephen Vantassel, CWCP, ACE, shares his extensive expertise in wildlife control, focusing on the critical and timely issue of black bear management. As black bear populations continue to grow and reestablish themselves across the United States, their presence is increasingly felt in regions that were once devoid of large predators. This resurgence presents unique challenges and opportunities for wildlife management professionals and the general public, all of which are explored in depth during this episode. The Resurgence of Black Bear Populations Over the past few decades, black bear populations have made a remarkable comeback in various parts of the United States. Once limited to remote wilderness areas, these large mammals are now increasingly found in suburban and even urban settings. This growth in population is a testament to successful conservation efforts but also brings new challenges, especially in areas where human-bear interactions are becoming more common. Stephen Vantassel opens the discussion by highlighting the current state of black bear management. He explains that while the increasing presence of black bears is a positive sign of ecological restoration, it also raises important questions about how to manage these animals effectively. The primary responsibility for black bear management falls to state and federal agencies, which often limits the involvement of private wildlife control professionals. Despite this, the need for expertise in handling human-bear interactions is growing, making it crucial for private professionals to understand their role within the regulatory frameworks that govern wildlife management. The Role of State and Federal Agencies in Black Bear Management Stephen Vantassel emphasizes that black bear management is primarily overseen by state and federal agencies. These agencies are responsible for setting regulations, conducting research, and implementing conservation strategies to ensure the well-being of black bear populations while minimizing conflicts with humans. However, this centralized management approach often means that private wildlife control professionals have limited opportunities to engage directly in black bear management. Despite these limitations, Stephen argues that private professionals can still play a significant role in supporting state and federal efforts. By understanding the regulations and building strong relationships with these agencies, private professionals can contribute valuable insights and expertise to help manage black bear populations more effectively. Additionally, they can assist in educating the public about safe practices for living and recreating in areas where black bears are present. Addressing the Risks of Black Bear Attacks One of the most pressing concerns surrounding the resurgence of black bears is the potential for dangerous encounters, including fatal attacks. In this episode, Stephen delves into the sobering topic of black bear attacks, providing a detailed examination of recent incidents. He discusses the factors that contribute to these tragic outcomes, including the behavior of both bears and humans. While black bears are generally less aggressive than other bear species, such as grizzlies, the risks associated with encountering them should not be underestimated. Stephen underscores the importance of understanding bear behavior and the circumstances that can lead to aggressive encounters. For example, black bears may become more dangerous when they feel threatened, when they are protecting their young, or when they have become habituated to human food sources. Strategies to Reduce the Risk of Black Bear Attacks To mitigate the risks of black bear attacks, Stephen discusses various strategies and research-based principles that can be applied in ...

In episode 140, we enter bear country. Now, we've talked about bears on the show before with bear biologist Garret Tovey (Episode 85). That episode is a must-listen if you are planning to enter the bear country and want to know some practical bear safety tips.  In this episode, we sit down with another bear biologist, but this time have a chance to hear about the bigger picture of bear conservation as a whole and what we can do to better coexist with larger predators like bears.  Sydney Stephens is an experienced biologist with expertise in research, teaching, and outreach. Her work spans diverse fields including biology, chemistry, and geography. She is passionate about community outreach, and engages in guest lectures and museum tours, and has worked internationally and with incarcerated populations. Fieldwork highlights include studying bears, sheep, and lions across Lake Tahoe, India, and Kenya, and she currently is conducting research on wild bear populations in Italy and the Yellowstone region of the United States.
