How Drones Can Train Bears to Stay Away from Humans

Brown bears walk across a large part of the northern hemisphere to the Spanish mountains to the US pride. These bears are huge meats that can weigh 751 kg (1,656 kg) and have claws with 15 cm (6 in). With long-toothed teeth and 6,800,000 pascal (1,000 psi) with the power force, these bruins can easily crush. All of these strong features have a brown bear bear, an imposing predator that can be as large and dangerous as adult bison.

However, while these bears eat meat, a large part of the diet is based on plants, because they are omnivorous. Brown bears have very few dietary reduction. They are certainly not gluten intolerant, because they are placed in large pile of grains, eating in the mouth of wheat. They don’t even have walnut or seafood allergies. This great dietary width, however, cause many of the same foods that humans are consumed. So brown bears and people, you have conflicts for man.

In the browns of the US, Grizzly Bears also called, since the 1970s have been protected species, which has caused some population and regained historical habitat.

Ecosystems with Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks have populations that are moving away from the mountains away from the mountains, where people and agricultural landscapes dominate the landscape. Returning to large grizzly plains has been the story of conservation success, but has been a non-intention to increase conflicts of human being.

Training bears to be out

Some people are angry, living with such a dreaded animal. Grizzlies can cause livestock, people and property damage. Luckily, people are not in the typical bear menu and attacks are very rare.

However, their presence makes all these risks possible, so it is essential when wildlife managers can avoid these conflicts and resolve problems. People’s worries are necessary to deal with Grizzly bear to achieve successful long-term conservation of the species.

With Grizzlies dissemination, the locals requested a greater answer to address the concerns of the people. Montana fish, fauna and parks and US Fish and fauna service, were responsible for managing sponsored species, state and federal agencies, have been hired in 2017.

I was the first bear manager based on large plains. Initially, I made a dozen public meetings to hear what people wanted. Beautifully, people said they didn’t want home, in the village, village or harmful property, namely livestock. It seemed reasonable request, so I offered him the bears. The wall is to move away from a non-unwanted place or stop doing a specific behavior, as they attack livestock.

Some people jumped into the idea and offered support while others were skeptical. Satisfies said that the hazing would not work or would carry a bear to someone else’s land.

When limited information is available, I decided to start collecting data to test the test if it works. I wanted to know, when the place that moves away from unwanted places. In addition, I wanted to know if they were taught grizzlies to be far from the long-term people, it is called a bad condition.

Dogs to drones

I started with the basic tools of the program bear manager – as dietary trucks and non-deadly shotguns, cracker shells and rubber turns. One day, I made a call about a bear in some trees next to a family house. I took it to the farm at the rainy day, to get rid of the bear, children and the animals would be safe. My truck, however, restricted wet ground – I couldn’t catch the bear where I’m sticking from.

So I walked out, shot the shells of the kind of firecrackers from the crew. Grizzly large male didn’t like to take my rough work and load me! Fortunately, I could stop the big bear with the crack that was in front of him, which bleached him and fled. After this dangerous encounter, it is very popular, but I decided not to be a scientific tool – bear dogs.

Monthly later I had two adult air adults who were known as the Royal Terriers, to grow grizzlies. I chose this kind of dog, because local people believe that the results of the race and conservation is more successful when these local perceptions are considered. It didn’t need a lot to realize that the bear dog didn’t.

Both dogs could not see a bear in a field that I could see, or found it first for any animal. They went after a variety of cats and porcupines. I made a better training for dogs, but the effort had a minor influence. I decided to try the miracle solution that was not a miracle solution, which was never tested before.

It is very maneuvable, I was hung up with the rumbling drone. In fact, I can harass the bears where I wanted, all from the safety and comfort of my truck. It was a magical tool that I needed an unmanned air vehicle. Even at night, I could find the thermal camera far away, and fly closer to the villages, houses and livestock to move. Drona was such an active, I couldn’t imagine work without doing.

Although all the tools were successful while they carry people, the drone performed better than dogs. I was no longer limited by other obstacles that I had already limited to the fences, canals, and other tools.

The job seemed to be paying all. Old bears needed less, and the number of numerous events was reduced about each calendar year – long-term conditions were conditioned conditions. The bear seemed to be learned to move away from people. It is likely that a conflict prevented some conflicts, which would be less likely to have problems. He won earned.
