Nyeema Harris knows what a surprise wildlife encounter feels like. Hiking in Montana's Blackfoot Mountains on a research trip years ago, she came around a bend and startled a large black bear in the middle of the trail.
"It freaked out," recalls Harris, the Knobloch Family Associate Professor of Wildlife and Land Conservation at the Yale School of the Environment. "It stood up on its hindlegs and started huffing. I calmly and politely backed away, and it, thankfully, ran off."
