The short answer: A bear poops wherever it dang well pleases. The more relevant query, though, for anyone who spends time in the outdoors: When a bear does poop in the woods, can you identify it?

Identifying bear scat can be a life-saving measure if you live in a region with grizzlies. Treading carefully and staying out of high-activity bear areas are key when hiking, hunting, or camping.

Ever wondered the answer to the age-old question: 'Does a bear poop in the woods?', well the Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation can confirm they do in fact do their business in the woods.
