Hungry Bears Hurt 10 People in Colorado

Black bears have hurt 10 people in Colorado in 2026, a first officials say. Two attacks in southwest Colorado on Sept. 11 and 13 raised the total. A bear bit a camper through her tent near South Fork; another scratched a 17-year-old in her Durango bedroom. Dry weather cut wild food as bears eat 20,000 calories daily before winter sleep.
