Bears are remarkable! Here are some bear facts about how they handle the summer heat... Bears don’t have sweat glands and can’t take off their fur coats, so they can’t cool off the way people do when temperatures soar.

Bears avoid the hottest parts of the day and often relax in daybeds under a nice shady tree. They will also spread out on their lightly furred bellies and take a cool mud bath or chill out in a wetland. Bears will sometimes seek shelter from the sun on a cool, shady stone patio, under decks and porches, or in crawl spaces.

Bears are excellent swimmers and paddle around in lakes and sit in streams to cool off. They’ve also been known to plop down in the kiddie pool or koi pond, run through the sprinklers and do laps in the pool.

Visit our August bear facts page at: bearwise.org/what-bears-do-in-august

Thank you, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the swimming bear photo.

Born and raised in NW Florida, Dara has seen the tragic transition of the land from a pristine and ecologically balanced landscape to a barren & toxic environment -- nearly unsustainable to wildlife or for human habitat. Having always had a love for nature, and with the belief that people & community thrive better when they coexist, she founded and is President of "Save Our Soundside, Inc." (link in comments) a Florida non-profit corporation which started as a grassroots organization in Southern Santa Rosa County and now advocates on behalf of county citizens for reasonable development, and serves as a watchdog for misconduct. Dara's experience as a trial paralegal enables her to navigate the environmental laws, comprehensive plan, and land development code in order to propose impactful change.
