Brown bears starts hunting

Brown bears switch habitats in the spring so they can hunt reindeer and moose calves, researchers have said. This showed that after hibernation, the animals moved to areas preferred by reindeer and moose. They changed their preference for habitats close to wetlands and evergreen forests, to more rugged terrain and higher elevations favoured by reindeer with young. After the reindeer calving period ended and the moose calving season started, the predators started to move to areas preferred by the latter – closer to deciduous forests. Could this be as a result of climate change ?
