Black bears

Find out why black bears are making a comeback in Texas, with sightings on the rise.

Once upon a time in Texas, black bears had been a hunting target to the point where their presence was almost nil. However, they're back according to Texas Parks and Wildlife.

After many years on the Endangered Species list, the population of the Louisiana Black Bear is now strong enough to merit a hunting season on them

The environmental and animal-rights activists are concerned that the bears will become targets for hunters, even though the state hasn't held a bear hunting season since 1988
