Otherwise the egg will be reabsorbed. The cubs are born while their mother is hibernating. The average litter size is two. Cubs are very tiny and helpless at birth but will develop quickly enough to be able to leave the den with their mother in spring. Everyone should heed this warning.
Wild animals know how to get their own food.
They do not need to depend on humans. Naturally, any wild animal would prefer an easy food source if it is presented. Once fed by humans, a wild animal begins to associate people as a food source and will keep coming back. Although black bears normally prefer to stay clear of people and rarely attack people unprovoked, it is highly dangerous for the bear to lose its natural fear of people, which often happens when the animal begins to rely on people for food. Not only is an attack on people more likely where bears are being fed, but a wild animal that has attacked people has to be destroyed.
