time of year? >> no, i see it all the time. people send videos like that to me all the time and what we can do is hope that there is no food close by and that they will go back into the den, which they often will. but if they find food and they start eating again, then all bets are off. karina: people's garbage cans and birdfeeders are sources of the food and it is humans, not the weather that is tampering with their hibernation cycles and biological clocks. bears are up and may be looking for food. the california department official -- department of fish and wildlife says about 50% of bears show some activity during the winter months while most hibernate for two to three months. back to you. kumasi: all right. here is an update on this. rats scurrying across a san francisco playground. it turns out they may not be wild.
