About the North American Black Bear Recognized by its brown-black coat and lighter tawny muzzle, the North American black bear (Ursus americanus) is the smallest and most widespread bear on the continent. While often dark in color, black bears can also appear in shades of cinnamon, blue-gray, silver-gray, or even white. Their ability to thrive in habitats ranging from the forests of Alaska and Canada to southern bayous and northern Mexico speaks to a remarkable adaptability developed over more than a million years.
Life in the Wild Adult black bears typically measure four to six feet in length and can weigh up to 700 pounds. Agile and strong, they are excellent climbers and swimmers, traveling territories that may span 15 to 75 miles.

Ongoing education for those living in bear country helps ensure a safe and respectful coexistence with a species that symbolizes the beauty and resilience of wild landscapes. What’s Included: 1 North American black bear 1 cub
Omnivorous by nature, black bears feed on plants, fruits, nuts, honey, and carrion, with the ability to hunt when needed. During summer months, they build vital fat reserves to sustain them through winter hibernation. In midwinter dens, female black bears give birth to tiny, blind cubs and raise their young with great care, usually welcoming one to five cubs every two years. As the storm passes.
