Black bears in Colorado's urban areas can stay awake year-round if unnatural food sources remain available. Do your part by keeping food sources like trash and bird seed secured all year long. (Photo courtesy of Colorado Parks and Wildlife.)
The total solar eclipse is expected to last over 4 minutes as it tracks across the Texas sky on April 8. Not only will the sky darken, but many animals will sense changes in temperature and wind speed. (Photo: Michael Miller/Texas A&M AgriLife)
