To report a sick, injured, orphaned, or dead black bear:

Do not approach the animal, even if it appears dead or unconscious, as it could still cause serious injury.

Please be prepared to answer the following questions:

• What is the exact location of the animal?
• Is the bear alive or dead?
• Is the bear blocking a roadway?
• What is the approximate size of the bear?
• Can you provide a contact number where you can be reached for further information?

The above information is the most important you can provide; however, any additional information will be helpful.
