Bears are involved in a feeding frenzy, while trying to pack on pounds for their long winter sleep. As a result, Monroe Animal Control is receiving more sightings as hibernation draws closer. The feeding frenzy is called hyperphagia, a period of excessive eating and drinking, according to Animal Control Officer Ed Risko, who said a black bear can eat 15,000 to 20,000 calories a day. On Tuesday, Oct. 8, several Monroe residents reported sightings of one particular bear.
