Mild Utah weather seems to be confusing bears and other wild animals. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources reports some bear sightings, which officials say, is unusual for this time of year. Scott Root, Outreach Manager, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says, people DO NOT need to worry about bears and other animals getting close to homes right now. However, if the weather remains warm and dry, just as in times past, Root says people could see bears and other wild animals wandering closer into residential areas to find food and water. So Root says, hope for a wet Spring.
