There are many grizzly bears and black bears in Anchorage, Alaska. Bear populationThere are between 200 and 300 black bears living in the city, according to a rough estimate given by State of Alaska wildlife biologist Rick Sinnott.[1] DNA studies based on collected hair samples have shown that the city is also home to at least 36 grizzly bears.[1] (That figure, however, is likely an underestimate: hair was collected from only seven of eleven grizzly bears that had been radio-collared in a separate study.[1]) Anecdotal accounts suggest that bear sightings are increasing in frequency, but biologists are skeptical that this increase in observations is indicative of a population increase.[1] Spawning salmon in Campbell Creek attract many bears to the city from the Chugach Mountains.[1] Human–bear encounters and management issues{{main|Bear danger}}Though bear populations may not be increasing, human–bear encounters are on the rise.[1] As Anchorage's population has increased and urbanization has removed forest, bears have become easier to spot.[1] In the late 1990s, Anchorage residents responding to a survey indicated that they wanted more animals, including bears, in the city.[1] It is unclear whether attitudes have remained the same, with some people growing uncomfortable with increasing bear encounters.[1] Recent laws have made it illegal to put out garbage before the morning of trash day,{{Fact|date=August 2008}} and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has lobbied the city to enforce the law by ticketing.[1] The ADFG has also undertaken a bear education campaign, including sending employees door to door to discourage Anchorage residents from leaving food and garbage out.[1] In 1995, two runners were killed by a bear just south of the city on the McHugh Creek trail.[2] Two maulings in July and August 2008 were the first maulings in the city proper in modern times.[2] See also
