Residents in the state of Alaska in the U.S. need to prepare for bears emerging from winter hibernation, a state wildlife official warned.
一名美国国家野生动物官员提醒道,阿拉斯加州的居民需要为正在冬眠的熊做好准备。
Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologist Ross Dorendorf said bears are normally expected to wake from hibernation in March or April.
阿拉斯加的鱼类和猎物研究部门生物学家罗斯多伦道夫说,熊通常会在3月或4月从冬眠中醒来。
Bears may seek food from trash cans or other man-made situations when natural sources run low, said Dorendorf.
多伦道夫说,当自然资源不足时,熊可能会从垃圾桶或其他人造环境中寻找食物。
"If the berries change or if the salmon change, it could be an increase or a decrease in the amount of activity we see here in town," he said. "Because when there is a food shortage for bears, they will come in and try to get to those easier food sources."
“浆果和三文鱼数量的变化,可以从市场上供给量上看出来。”他说,“因为当熊的食物短缺时,它们会来到镇上找吃的。”
The first bears to emerge from hibernation are generally males, followed by females without cubs and then female bears with cubs, Dorendorf said.
多伦道夫说,从冬眠中醒来的第一批熊通常是雄性,其次是没有幼崽的雌性,然后是有幼崽的雌性。
"They're kind of at an interesting time in their life cycle right now," Dorendorf said. "When they come out of hibernation, they go into what's called walking hibernation."
“它们现在正处于生命中一个有趣的时期,”多伦道夫说,“当它们从冬眠中醒来时,会进入所谓的步行冬眠。”
The bears may be lethargic as they emerge in the coming month, Dorendorf said, a condition that could last about two weeks.
多伦道夫说,在接下来的一个月里,这些熊可能会再次进入为期两周的冬眠。
