A black bear entered through the window of a Colorado teenage girl’s home and scratched her, just days after another bear bit a camper in the state, according to wildlife officials. On Friday, a woman at a campground in southwest Colorado heard a growl and felt something hit her outdoor tent. She was treated for a puncture wound on her arm, which authorities said was consistent with a black bear bite. Wildlife officers found claw marks on her tent and recovered several dark hairs. Monte Vista area wildlife manager Rick Basagoitia said the bite was likely due to surprise rather than aggression, noting that the area had "no history of conflict or damage." Two days later, a bear opened a cracked window, tore off the screen, and entered the bedroom of a sleeping 17-year-old girl. The girl was awakened by the animal’s presence and hid under her blankets. The bear’s paw struck her stomach, leaving three scratch marks, according to authorities. District wildlife manager Luke Clancy said the girl was fortunate to have multiple blankets covering her when the bear swiped her, which likely lessened the severity of the injury. This year, Colorado has seen 10 reported bear attacks on humans—a number officials have called unprecedented. A statewide drought has reduced the availability of food for black bears, which typically eat berries, fruits, and insects. As they prepare for hibernation, bears need up to 20,000 calories per day and have increasingly turned to human residences for food. Nationally, there has also been a rise in bear-human conflicts. In August, a bear broke into a New Mexico man’s home and mauled him to death, marking a rare fatal attack in the state. Wildlife officials have urged the public to take steps to prevent such encounters. They recommend securing trash, locking windows, doors, garages, and vehicles to make it harder for bears to access human spaces. These measures aim to reduce the likelihood of conflicts as bears continue to search for food in areas where natural resources are scarce.
