(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Coloradans are no strangers to living with wildlife, with many close to the Front Range getting to cross paths with some wildlife every so often.

Most recently, visitors at Garden of the Gods Park got a sight they’ll never forget: a mama bear and her cubs. Amy Edith Priddy, from Kansas, shared a video with FOX21 News of the three bears.

Living with bears is possible — as long as humans educate themselves and live responsibly with wildlife.

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), most conflicts with bears can be traced to human food, garbage, pet food, bird seed, or other attractants. Most bears are active from mid-March through early November.

As shown in the video, the mama and the bears walk through the path. Cubs often stay with their mama bear for their first year, denning with the mother and littermates over the winter. By the time of their second spring, they will be self-reliant and will separate from their mom by the second autumn.

Per CPW, mothers with cubs rarely attack humans. However, they will often perform a bluff rush to scare threats while the cubs climb trees or other tall objects. It is never a good idea to get between a mom and her cubs.

Those who are lucky enough to see a bear — like the visitors at Garden of the Gods — are advised to watch from a safe distance and enjoy the special experience.

If you ever cross paths with a bear, stand still, stay calm, and let the bear identify you and leave. Be sure the bear has an open escape route, and humans are advised never to run or climb a tree.

If the bear doesn’t leave, wave your arms slowly overhead and talk calmly. Step off the trail to the downhill side, keep looking at the bear, and slowly back away until the bear is out of sight.

So, when walking the trails during active bear season, remember to be bear-y aware.
