Multicolored bear statues spring up in Alaska's largest city

Alaska's largest city is home to more than 300 grizzly and black bears and now more than a dozen multicolored ones.

Life-size bear statues painted by city artists, part of Bears on Parade, are popping up as they're completed. They're part of a continuing effort to raise awareness that if you live in Anchorage, you live near bears.

"The whole point of this is to engage in conversation about bears and their habitat - the food that they eat, where they live," says Brenda Carlson, who helps organize the program.
