‘It’s like CSI, but for bears.’

Megan Adams, the lead author of a new study that examined and mapped the long-term salmon-eating habits of black and grizzly bears in British Columbia, describes to the CBC the process of collecting tufts of bear hair from barbed-wire corrals. The study identified precisely where more than 1,400 bears fed on salmon and found that, overall, grizzlies ate more salmon than black bears.
