*** About Black Bears: The American black bear is a medium-sized bear native to North America. It is the continent's smallest and most widely distributed bear species. Black bears are omnivores, with their diets varying greatly depending on season and location. They typically live in largely forested areas but will leave forests in search of food. They are often attracted to human communities because of the immediate availability of food. The fur of the black bear is usually a uniform color except for a brown muzzle and light markings that sometimes appear on their chests. Despite their name, black bears show a great deal of color variation, with coats ranging from black, brown, gray, even white hues.
