When my plane landed here, the flight attendant welcomed everyone to West Yellowstone, Montana and added, don't feed the bears.

我的飛機在這裡降落時，空服員歡迎大家來到蒙大拿州的西黃石，並提醒大家不要餵食熊。

There's a lot of reminders not to do that.

程度副詞

The whole of Yellowstone park, which starts just a couple hundred metres that way, is bear country.

整個黃石國家公園，就在那邊幾百公尺外就開始了，那裡是熊的棲息地。

And hikers and campers heading from this town into the wilderness will bring food with them.

而從這個鎮上前往荒野的健行者和露營者會帶食物。

If the wind's in the right direction, then a bear can smell that food miles away.

如果風向對了，熊可以聞到幾英里外的食物。

Which isn't great for the humans, who do not want a hungry grizzly bear that weighs a third of a ton of rummaging through and destroying their campsite.

這對人類來說不太妙，他們不希望一隻重達三分之一噸、具攻擊性的灰熊在他們的營地裡翻找並破壞。

Bears are relatively smart creatures and if one of them makes the connection between humans and easily available food, it might start seeking out campsites and homes.

熊是相對聰明的生物，如果牠們將人類和唾手可得的食物連結起來，牠們可能會開始尋找營地和住家。

in that case it might have to be euthanized, killed not just for human safety, but

在那種情況下，牠可能必須被安樂死，不只是為了人類安全，

because it might pass that behaviour along to its cubs and along to their cubs and suddenly the wilderness isn't so wild anymore.

也因為牠可能會把這種行為傳給牠的幼崽，再傳給牠們的幼崽，荒野就不再那麼荒野了。

There are rules for people going into the park and one of them involves keeping all your food in bear resistant containers, a bit like these trash cans.

進入公園的人們有一些規定，其中一項是必須將所有食物存放在防熊容器裡，有點像這些垃圾桶。

So problem number two, how do you certify that a container is actually bear resistant?

所以第二個問題是，你怎麼認證一個容器是真的防熊的？

Here at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Centre, they're trying to solve both those problems in one go.

在這裡的灰熊與狼發現中心，他們正試圖一次解決這兩個問題。

Rather than euthanizing a bear that's a bit too interested in picnic baskets, it can get moved here just outside the park where it might get a new job testing containers.

與其安樂死一隻對野餐籃太感興趣的熊，牠可以被移到這裡，就在公園外面，在那裡牠可能會得到一份新工作，測試容器。

On average, our bears test around 60 products per season, which runs from April 1 to October 1.

平均來說，我們的熊一個季節會測試大約 60 種產品，季節從 4 月 1 日到 10 月 1 日。

Seems like everybody wants to make a bear resistant cooler these days.

看來現在每個人都想做一個防熊的保冰桶。

So then we have the trash cans, something you'd roll out to the end of your driveway.

然後我們有垃圾桶，這種你會推到車道盡頭。

Some metal products even get tested here.

有些金屬產品甚至在這裡測試。

We want those products to pass the test so that out in the field a bear doesn't get that food reward and moves on, continues back into the woods where they belong.

我們要這些產品通過測試，這樣在野外時，熊就不會得到食物獎勵，然後繼續回到牠們該待的森林裡。

Peanut butter and honey as a close second.

再來是花生醬和蜂蜜，緊追在後。

And then we either put dried dog kibble or dog treats inside.

然後我們會放乾燥的狗飼料或狗零食在裡面。

Quite often we put a dummy container in to give those bears a food reward every once in a while.

很多時候我們會放一個假的容器，偶爾給那些熊一點食物獎勵。

If they were to not be able to get into a product 20 products in a row, why perhaps would they try to get in that 21st time?

如果牠們連續 20 個產品都打不開，為什麼牠們還會在第 21 次嘗試？

So let them remember that there's a lot of goodies inside and they need to put that effort into trying to get in.

所以讓牠們記住裡面有很多好吃的，牠們需要努力去嘗試打開。

Lots of double checks, security, you know, radio calls.

很多雙重檢查、安全措施，你知道的，無線電呼叫。

So obviously I asked to put a camera inside one of the dummy trash cans, one of the trash cans that the bears would definitely get into.

所以很明顯，我要求在其中一個假的垃圾桶裡放一個攝影機，就是那些熊一定會去翻找的垃圾桶。

I didn't think the team here would let me, but

我本來以為這裡的團隊不會讓我這麼做，但是

they said yes immediately and in hindsight, of course they said yes.

他們馬上就答應了，事後想想，他們當然會答應。

The bears are literally being given a load of plastic and metal to rip apart in the hope of reaching the food inside.

熊們 literalmente 得到一堆塑膠和金屬來撕開，希望能吃到裡面的食物。

A camera in a protective case is not going to make any difference to them.

裝在保護殼裡的攝影機對牠們來說沒有任何差別。

The bear's favorite method, at least with the trash can we find is the CPR method.

熊最喜歡的方法，至少對於我們找到的垃圾桶來說，是 CPR 方法。

And a lot of times they separate the lid from the body with coolers.

很多時候牠們會把保冷箱的蓋子和箱體分開。

They're gonna use their teeth to tear the plastic apart.

And then the styrofoam and then the next layer and then it's a cleanup on aisle four.

然後是保麗龍，接著是下一層，然後就像是「走道四號大掃除」。

There is a centuries long history of bears being mistreated for entertainment and I do not want to be part of that.

過去幾個世紀以來，熊一直因為娛樂而被虐待，我不想成為其中一份子。

This place has to survive as a non profit and as a tourist attraction.

這個地方必須作為一個非營利組織和旅遊景點生存下去。

But that can't mean putting the bears welfare at risk.

但這不能意味著將熊的福利置於危險之中。

Fortunately, the team here are very clear that they don't want that to happen either.

幸運的是，這裡的團隊都很清楚他們也不希望這種情況發生。

We would never want to put the bears at risk.

These are all rescued bears that came from the wild.

這些都是從野外救援回來的熊。

我們採取非常、非常不幹預的方式。

We don't call out to the bears, we don't talk to the bears.

我們不會呼喚熊，也不會跟熊說話。

We want them to remain as wild as possible.

我們希望牠們盡可能保持野性。

We also ask the public to not call out to the bears.

The bear habitat is about an acre in size.

We do have two ponds, a waterfall and lots of trees and rocks and logs.

我們有兩個池塘、一個瀑布，還有很多樹、石頭和樹幹。

We stock the pond with fish all summer long.

我們整個夏天都會在池塘裡放魚。

The food that's hidden out into the bear habitat in front of the public is just an enrichment to keep them active, to snack, let them do their natural behaviors like they would in the wild.

藏在熊棲息地裡、在大眾面前的食物，只是為了豐富牠們的生活，讓牠們能像在野外一樣，有零食吃，並展現牠們的自然行為。

It turns out that it's really difficult to make a container that humans will want to use and can use, but

結果發現，要做出人類願意用、也能用，但熊卻打不開的容器，真的非常困難。

Yesterday I tried to use one of those bear resistant trash cans and it had been jammed shut by someone that apparently couldn't figure it out and just shoved their garbage in the latch.

昨天我試著用一個防熊垃圾桶，結果被某個人卡住了，那個人顯然搞不定，就把垃圾硬塞進了鎖孔裡。

Because there's an old quote allegedly from some park Ranger in the 1980s.

因為有句據說是 1980 年代某位國家公園管理員說的舊話。

I couldn't find the original source that says there's a considerable overlap between the brain power of the most intelligent bears and the least intelligent tourists.

我找不到原始出處，但那句話說，最聰明的熊和最笨的遊客，在腦力上有很多重疊的地方。

60 minutes of contact time, quarter inch hole or larger is a fail.

60 分鐘的接觸時間，四分之一英吋或更大的洞就算失敗。

We always say bear resistant because we feel that if you give a bear an unlimited amount of time, they'll get in most everything.

我們總是說「防熊」，因為我們覺得，如果你給熊無限的時間，牠們幾乎什麼都能打開。

No guarantees those bears are going to come around and try to get that easy meal each and every time.

不能保證那些熊每次都會過來，試著去吃那頓容易到手的餐點。

We're trying to educate the visitors to not make the same mistakes that got most of our bears here in the first place.

我們正試著教育遊客，不要犯下讓大多數熊來到這裡的同樣錯誤。

More and more bears are staying out of trouble in the wild.

越來越多熊在荒野中沒有惹麻煩。

Oh, yeah, no, that's a bear with a GoPro.

喔，對，不是啦，那是隻帶著 GoPro 的熊。
