what are the odds that you are going to cross paths with a blood thirsty grizzly bear trying to get it's fill before hibernation?

To decrease the likelihood of a bear being attracted to campus, everyone should properly dispose of garbage and should never leave food out for animals or birds.



To date, no one on campus has been injured by a bear.



Please note that bears are dangerous wild animals and female bears are extremely dangerous when they believe their cubs are at risk of being injured. Under no circumstances should you attempt to photograph or approach a bear in any way.



If you should encounter a bear at a distance, please respond to the presence of the bear in the following manner:

o  Do not approach the bear.

o  Make the bear aware of your presence by making noise.

o  Call Campus Police (XXXXXXX) and report the bear as soon as possible.

o  If you encounter the bear at close range, please respond to the bear in the following manner:

§  Remain standing,

§  Avoid direct eye contact,

§  Back up SLOWLY,

§  Speak aloud in a calm yet assertive voice, and

§  Call Campus Police (XXXXXXXX) and report the bear as soon as possible.

§  If you are inside a vehicle and observe a bear, please remain in the vehicle, sound your horn, and contact Campus Police if possible.  Keep in mind that the noise from your horn may scare the bear away but it also alerts other people to the presence of the bear.



In addition, everyone should comply with the following five rules:



1.      Never follow a bear, or encourage others to form a group to follow a bear.

2.      Never leave food out in the open or in your vehicle.

3.      Never hike alone in the adjacent wooded areas.

4.      Never provoke the bear.

5.      Never feed the bear. It is illegal in New Jersey to do so.

The best way to ward off bears is to carry bear-bells (for noise) and cans of pepper spray. Always be on the lookout for bear scat in the area. An easy way to identify bear scat is that it's full of bear-bells and cans of pepper-spray.

I know, it's an old joke...
