Lentfer JW, Hensel RJ, Miller LH, Glenn LP, Berns VD. 1970. Remarks on Denning Habits of Alaska Brown Bears: Dening Control Mechanisms, Site Selections and Physiology
Brown bear denning studies were conducted intermittently from 1965 through 1969, by the US Fish and Wildlife Service on the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge and by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game on the Alaska Peninsula. These are two of the most important brown bear areas in Alaska. This paper presents information on denning habits with emphasis on descriptions of dens. Studies were funded by the Refuge Branch of the US Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and Alaska Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Projects W-15-R-1,2, and 3, an dW-17-1.
