Bear Dies After Climbing on Top of Telephone Pole in Clayton, New Mexico
The bear died before deputies arrived after bystanders filmed the animal on the pole, and wildlife officials urged residents to leave it alone.
- On Monday, a bear climbed a power pole east of Gladstone, New Mexico, prompting the New Mexico Department of Wildlife to respond to the incident. Members of the public stopped nearby to film the animal atop the structure.
- Bears have adapted to living near people, and intentional or unintentional feeding trains them to approach homes and people for more food. This proximity to residential areas near Gladstone explains increasing wildlife encounters.
- To prevent dangerous encounters, wildlife officials urge the public to secure food, garbage, and recycling. Food and food odors attract bears, so residents must remove bird feeders and never leave pet food outside.
- Although the Union County Sheriff's Office was notified of the incident, the bear unfortunately sustained fatal injuries before officials arrived. Local dispatch had previously instructed residents to leave the animal alone.
- Property owners can protect livestock, beehives, and bird feeders by installing electric fencing, which provides an effective deterrent without causing long-term harm to bears. These measures help keep property and residents safe in bear country.
