Watch as bears destroy tents and trash a picnic table at Oakland Zooâs mock campsite, to encourage campers to stay safe in the forest. According to the zooâs website, approaching, disturbing or feeding black bears is likely to have ânegative and dangerous outcomesâ for both bears and people. The zoo hosted its third annual âBear Campâ event to celebrate National Black Bear Day on Saturday 1 June and also used the day to show the importance of âbear-proofâ camping. Guests watched the bears destroy a mock campsite set up by their keepers and learnt how to stay bear-aware while in the forest.
