Join Ph.D. student Brogran Holcombe to learn more about black bears in Virginia and how her research has provided insight into their behaviors and diet. Using camera collars on black bears allows her to see them move about the landscape and consume a variety of foods; her current research is focused on creating a 'Fitbit' for black bears.
