Black Bear Safari | Part 1: Spotting Bears at Pungo Unit | Wild Black Bears Near Outer Banks North Carolina
Story Description:
Not far from the Outer Banks lies a remarkable place where some of the largest black bears in the country roam in impressive numbers. We are heading into Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge to search for the black bears of the Pungo Unit, a place we have grown to love exploring time and time again.
With many visits already under our belt, this area rarely disappoints. For anyone who enjoys seeing black bears in their natural habitat, this is truly the place to go. Vast crop fields and countless acres of protected land provide ideal conditions for the Coastal Giant black bears to forage, wander, and thrive throughout their lives, all within the safety of a preserved wildlife refuge.
