Connecticut is seeing a growing number of black bear encounters, with recent incidents including a bear and cub trapped in a car, a woman bitten in a backyard, and a bear struck by a car. These events highlight the increasing black bear population in the state, which has been steadily growing since the 1980s. While bear encounters were rare in the state decades ago, they are becoming more common, with bears breaking into cars, homes, and trash bins. Officials urge residents to be aware of bear activity and take steps to prevent encounters, such as locking car doors and securing food sources.
