    logo_bearizona2Spring is in the air and it’s the start of baby season at Bearizona Wildlife Park.  All different species of North American Wildlife start to have their young between March and July, making it the perfect time to visit.

    Williams AZ (March 18, 2014) – Bearizona Wildlife Park is excited to announce the arrival of two bear cubs, which were born to two different mothers the second week of January at the Williams, Arizona Wildlife Park.  The bear cubs spent their first two months with their mothers are were just weaned.  They will be viewable in a nursery exhibit until May, when they are big enough to go out into their own enclosure within the walk through area of the park.

    20140318_two-bzona-cubsBlack Bears commonly have two to four cubs per litter, and can nurse up to six cubs.  Despite high birthrates, only four out of ten cubs will reach their first year of life.  The sixty percent of cub mortality is a result of starvation and depredation by male bears are other large carnivores.

    Arizona has a stable wild population of black bear in the wild, however the elusive animals are rarely seen. Visitors to Bearizona Wildlife Park are able to get a close encounter with captive black bears, while learning about their habits and history. “It is exciting to see the emotional connections people make with our animal residents. Once people open their hearts to wildlife then we can teach them about conservation issues,” explains COO and Curator Vanessa Stoffel. She adds, “We have a unique opportunity to educate the public about what it means to live with and recreate among black bears, and these little ambassador cubs are where it all begins.”

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
