ROTM: Bears on the Run

Tourists have traveled to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for years to take in the beauty of the East Tennessee mountains, and to possibly get a sight of a black bear and her cubs. Recently though black bears have been seen outside of their native region of the state, but rather in Middle Tennessee. Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency Black Bear Program Leader, Dan Gibbs, explains why we're seeing black bears outside of their typical habitat, and what you should do if you encounter one in your neighborhood.
