Danger in the woods

Article Abstract:

Campers can help prevent wild-animal attacks by leaving them alone. Black bears are more interested in food than in attacking people, so campers should keep their food 12 feet off the ground. Cougars, deer and raccoons have the potential to attack people, although attacks are fairly rare.
