Janice and Janey have daily visits from black bears in their backyard in Asheville, North Carolina. Many residents have fully embraced living in close quarters with the dense population of Asheville’s urban bears. They decorated their entire living room with black bear inspired Kitsch.
Cities Gone Wild
Cities Gone Wild is an exploration of three savvy animals: black bears, coyotes and raccoons.

I tracked these three carnivores in cities across the United States, to reveal how they are using our infrastructure and resources to carve out a unique place in society that might help them survive an uncertain future.
