Roaming bears awaken in eastern North Carolina
Bears emerge from hibernation in eastern North Carolina raising chances of encounters with motorists and residents. A bear caused a wreck on I 40 near Rocky Point, another attacked a teen and killed a dog in Beaufort County. Wildlife biologist Mark Jones notes about 70 bears are hit yearly in the east. He urges not running from bears, avoiding eye contact, and keeping children and pets controlled while not feeding wildlife.
