Yosemite NP study: Bears prefer minivans

A study published in the October issue of The Journal of Mammalogy indicates that black bears in Yosemite National Park have a preference for minivans, breaking into those vehicles more often than any other in the park. The likely reason is because the vans are usually owned by families with children who spill food and drinks, and the smells (not always food) attract the bears. Fresno Bee.
