Help protect our bears by not speeding in the park! In the last three weeks, at least four bears were hit by cars in Yosemite, at least two of which were killed. Read the full story on the Bear Team Blog at . Learn more at .

@YosemiteNPS Are bears more active in the park with fewer visitors? A mother and cubs ran in fromt of my car on 120 today. I wasn’t speeding and they were fine.

@BradB_at_SacBee Activity does seem high right now, but it's hard to tell if that's because of fewer people or not. Thanks for not speeding... a few seconds made the difference there!

@YosemiteNPS It helps protect owls too! (they like to fly across the forested roads at night to grab mice). Image is from the NWF and is a Great Grey Owl

@YosemiteNPS Awful. Who speeds in a national park? Isn’t the whole idea to slow down.

@YosemiteNPS @bisquiat Sadly, I don't trust the drivers to reform their behavior. You need speed bumps to protect the bears.

@YosemiteNPS I’m so sorry to hear this. Hopefully, people will behave better. Slow down, it will all be there.

@YosemiteNPS Oh no! When we were in Yosemite in June we saw two speed related wrecks in 5 days. One car hanging off the edge of the road, saved by a tree. The other was totaled after smashing into the cliff face right by Tunne View. Slow down. #Speedingkillsbears

@YosemiteNPS This makes me SO mad. Previously you shared a story of 3 cubs whose mama was hit and killed. It should be required reading for all who enter the park by car. I’ve always been a careful driver; now I have no problem being the annoying driver who slows everyone down behind me!

@YosemiteNPS If they were Madrid (Spain) national parks they would kill bears for posing a danger to drivers....

@YosemiteNPS How stupid can people be. The park has been empty for visitors for months. Of course wildlife is walking on the roads. I’m crying. It’s so unfair.
