Tldr: drones/uavs spook bears, probably not a good tool for bear based science, or indeed for anyone else to observe bears.

Not only that, but probably a lot more animals are stressed out by them. They just reported on the bears because they studied their response. But we should generally come up with guidelines or rules when or if people are allowed to fly drones in nature.
