Bears sleeping patterns are changing, largely as a result of the food that humans are making available to them. bears no longer spend the entirety of winter in their dens, but instead wake up and wander around throughout the cold months. Hibernation periods were shortened by 45% for female bears and 56% for males. Less predictable bear hibernation patterns can have several implications. 

     For one thing, it can increase the potential interactions between bears and other species — including humans. It is my hope to use my hashtag#illustration voice to bring awareness to those I reach about the issues that are more important to me, and perhaps all of us here on this beautiful planet.

    Environmental awareness, pollution, animal life... these are things that matter deeply to all of us. Save the hashtag#environment , save the hashtag#animals , save the hashtag#planet . Thank you all, and enjoy your week!
