Our first bear damage of the season -- broken fence stringer. The lower rung of the fence was no match for the weight of the bear. CA Fish and Wildlife says black bears typically weigh 100-200 pounds for adult females and 150-350 pounds for adult males, though California black bears have been weighed at more than 600 pounds. These are big animals.
How do I know it was a bear that broke the fence? Well, ,our trash can (with bear proof latch) was knocked over and there was a pile of bear poop steps from the fence.
