Over the last few decades, increased protections for U. americanus — including stricter hunting laws — as well as restoration of their deforested habitats and, in some places, bear reintroduction programs, have meant humans and bears are coming face-to-face more often. In Dr. Fairbanks’ state, for instance, people will report seeing grizzlies. But grizzlies don’t live in Oklahoma.
