The document provides extensive details about the diet and eating habits of black bears. It notes that black bears are omnivores that primarily eat vegetation, but will also consume insects, small mammals, fish, and occasionally larger prey like moose calves or deer fawns. Their diet varies depending on the season and location, but commonly includes berries, nuts, roots, grasses, salmon, and carrion. The document also discusses the bears' hibernation period in the winter when they enter dens and fast without eating for up to 7 months to conserve energy.

Black Bear report
Black bears are omnivores which mean that they will eat plants and other
animals. but the 85% of the bears diet usually consists of vegetation. These bears
will mostly eat the same food that the brown bear will eat but these bears are
different because they will eat far fewer roots, bulbs, corms and tubers then the
other species will. The black bear will normally eat insects like bee’s yellow
jackets, ants and their larvae. The best time for the black bear to hunt for salmon
is when night comes they will hunt these fish in the dark because they can easily
be spotted when they are hunting in the daytime because the fish can easily see
the bears black fur. These bears will also go for honey and they will also climb up
trees to get it. They will also go into bee hives but if they are to deep for the bear
to reach so they will use their paws to get the honey that can be found in the hive
that is located in the trunk. The other food that these bears will eat are plants,
leaves, fruits, berries, nuts, roots, honey, insects and they will also eat small
mammals to. Black bears will normally eat anything that can be found in their
habitat. The other animals that they will eat are grasshoppers and they will also
eat giant creatures. Black bears will also eat fish, fruit, berries, nuts, acorns, and
they will also eat roots, the type of food that they eat really depends on the time
of the year. These bears are not the best hunter that is because they do not hunt
often because they will rather eat plants then other animals. These bears will
usually find their food in forests which is where they live and that can be dropped
with meadows. This will give these places lots of different berries and other food
for the black bears to eat. When these bears want to eat tree bark then they will
strip the bark out of the tree then they will start to lick the sweet sap that can be
found underneath the bark. But there are some places like Cabins, camps,

2. garbage cans, and town dumps are usually will by bears that can be looking for an
really easy meal for them to eat. So if a bear is near a cabin then they can easily
rip down the wall off of the cabin. They can also jump on top of a car roof they
will continue to do that until the door pops open. When the bear first tastes the
human food. Then it can be really hard for them to stop. So the thing is never ever
feed a wild bear. Black bears will normally eat both plants and other animals. the
food that they will eat are berries, nuts, grass, roots, tree sap and they will also
eat honey from a beehive. These bears will normally eat the whole hive and they
may also eat the bees that can be inside of the hive. Black bears will also eat small
animals like mice. These bears will also catch fish. They will also eat larger animals
like a young moose and an elk. The food that these bears will normally eat are
vegetation that also includes herbs, grasses, roots, buds, shoots, honey, nuts,
fruit, berries and they can also eat seeds. They will also eat fish, small mammals,
insects, carrion and rubbish, The other food that they will eat are small mammals,
salmon and they will also eat carrion to. The bears that live in the northern
regions they will normally eat spawning salmon. These bears can easily kill a baby
deer and a baby moose. They can also eat plants, fruit, nuts; insects and they can
also eat honey. The other food that they will eat are frogs, fruit, nuts, and they
will also eat berries, They will also hunt to they will usually hunt small mammals
like deer and livestock. They will also eat different types of insects like ants and
bees. These animals are also scavengers to when they do this then they will eat
carrion, raid garbage and they will also eat food feeders. When the bears are in
the wild then they will eat a lot different types of plants and animals. The food
that they will eat when they are looking for vegetation then they will usually fest
on grass, berries, buds, flowers, fruit, fish. When they are looking for meat then
they will eat fish and they will also eat small mammals like rabbits and raccoons
and they will sometimes eat carrion. It is not a joke that bears don’t like honey in
reality they do love honey and to get it they will usually climb up trees in order to
get it. They will do that so they can beat the bee hive like a children playing with
piñatas. When these bears are in a zoo then they will eat apples, sweet potatoes,
carrots, meat, fish and they will also eat vitamin and mineral enriched biscuits. A
black bears diet is mostly on vegetation that means that they eat twigs, roots,
berries and they can also eat really young plants and they will also eat buds and

3. they will also eat beetles to. The important food that they eat is ants, bees, and
bee larvae they will usually eat these bugs when they are eating honey. They will
also eat small mammals and fish that can be really big for their diet. Bears will
usually catch small mammals and fish when it is an easy time to get them. Lots of
people think that they are carnivores but they are really omnivores but they will
activity go for vegetation more than hunting for wild prey. (It really depends on
the food that is supplied in that area or when there is a huge variety of food that
is waiting for them. Black bears will usually get their fruit and their nuts from
trees to get the food that they want from the trees they will start to pluck off the
branches they can do this by use their prehensile lips they will also use this to eat
grass, roots and bulbs that can be found on the ground and that can also
supplement on their diet when they are feasting on small animals like insects and
on rodents. The way that they get their food really depends on the region that
they live on and how many prey does that place have. These bears are also known
to to kill a young deer. These bears are experts on catching fish they will usually
hunt for fish by a river and these animals will also eat carrion. (This is a skill that is
used in lots of areas where there are no Grizzly bears to compete for the food).
Black bears have a rally big body size. These bears will spend their time in the
night eating. They will usually do this just for the average of 12 hours of the day
so that they can build up their body fat so that they can be ready for the winter.
The other bugs that they eat are carpenter ants, yellow jacket, bees and termites.
Black bears will mostly be found in forests but they will also be found in places
that are near swamps and desert scrubs. These bears can be found all across
North America. The most common place to found a black bear is found in North
America. They will usually be found in areas where there are dense forests. Black
bears can be found in 42 starts in America. These bears can also be found in 11
and 12 parts of Canada. These animals will also be found in the north part of
Mexico high up in the Rocky Mountains that is where they are located in Northern
Mexico. These bears can also be found in Canada and in the lower Arctic Circle.
Black bears can do great when they are in a really good area of their habitat and
those places are in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. There are so many black
bears that can be mixed up with the hardwood forest that can be found in the
eastern parts of the United States and in Canada. Black bears can also be found in

4. places that are in the Northern Great lake states such as Minnesota, Wisconsin
and in Michigan. Black bears cab also be found in the forest areas on Canada, The
United States and in Mexico. They can also be found in the state of Montana to.
The places where black bears live is usually in forests and in wooded areas but
there are a lot of these bears that live high up in the mountains. These bears can
be found all over North America they can also be found in Canada, Some places in
the United States and they can also be found in North Mexico. There are a lot of
black bears that live in so many different mountains and those are Appalachian
Mountains, Rocky Mountains and the Ozark mountains. There is another Black
bear and that is called the Asiatic black bear and they can be found on lots of
different places that are in Asia. The places that they live in that are Asia are
Pakistan, India, China, Vietnam and so many other countries that can be found in
Asia to. Black bears live in both continents those are Asia and in North America.
Black bears are usually adapted to a place that has a whole of food but the black
bear will usually be found living in the wide range habitats and those places are
scrubs, swamps that can be found on the south. These bears can also be found in
the dense coniferous and they can also be seen in deciduous forest areas. Black
bears live in Alaska but the best place to look for black bear is really high up in the
mountains that is in north Mexico and they can also be found in Southern Canada
to. The places where there are no black bears are usually in the southwest deserts
these are places where you cannot find a black bear in this area. These bears are
also not seen in the really big parts of central and in east of the United States.
There are about 41 black bears that live in The United states and there are about
50 of them that live in Mexico. The most common place to find a black bear is
usually in forest habitats and they can also be found in fields and in meadows.
Black bears can grow big as six feet (two m). An Adult black bear can weigh about
200 to 600 pounds (91 and 272 kg). But the black bears that live in Asia are a lot
heaver then the ones that live in North America and the ones that live in Asia can
weigh less than 300 pounds (136 kg). The Males are bigger than the females. The
American black bear can be big as 6 feet (1.8 m) long and they can weigh about
300 pounds (136 kg). The black bear's length is 1.3-1.9 m (4.25-6.25 ft.). Their tail
can be big as 7 to 15 cm (2.75 to 6 inches). These bears can weigh about 55 to 300
kgs (120 to 660lbs). The American black bear can grow about 5 feet (1.5 m) long

5. 250 pounds (113 kg). The Asian black bear size is the same size as the American
black bear. The males can be big as 1.8 meters long and they can weigh about 300
kilograms. The height of a black bear is 2 to 3 feet (.6-9m) at the shoulders and
length of these animals are 4-7 feet (1.2-2m) that is from the nose to the tip of
the tail. The males can weigh about 150-300 lbs. (68-158 kg). The females are a lot
smaller than the males are because the males are a lot bigger than they are. The
average weigh for a male black bear is 500-600lbs (227-272 kg). The average size
of an black bear is 35 to 40 inches (89 to 102 cm) when they are standing on all of
their legs then they will be 4 feet -4.5 to 6 feet (1.3 to 1.8 m) that is how big these
bears are when they stand on their high legs. These average size for a black bear
is (57 to 272 kg). Males are a lot bigger than the females are they are about three
times bigger than the females are. The size for an black bear is 5.5ft the males
can weigh about 700 lbs. The females are 70 to 250lbs. The average size for a
black bear is 5 to 6 ft. (1.5 to 1.8m) long they can also weigh about 200 to 600 lbs.
(90 to 270 kg). Black bear can be big as 4 to 7 feet that is from the tip of their nose
to their tail. When they are standing on their high legs they can be tall as 500 to
600 pounds. The American black bear is known to the most smallest bear is all the
bear species that can be found in North America. The male black bear can grow
about 20 to 60 percent bigger than the females are. The females can grow about
six feet and they can weigh about 650 pounds. The normal length of an female
black bear is 175 pounds. The black bears can stand as three feet all to the
shoulder. The males will weigh about 150-450 lbs. The females can weigh about
110-250lbs and the young will usually weigh about 45 to 100 lbs. The black bear
can be big as 1.5 m (5 feet) long. The females can weigh about 40 to 180 kg (90
and 400 pounds). The males can weigh about 50 to 400 kg (110 and 880 pounds).
The cubs can weigh about 200 to 450 (seven ounces and one pound) This is how
big they are when they are first born. The black bear can live about 25 to 30 years.
When they are in the wild then they can live about 32 years old. There are some
black bears that can live about 25 years to. There was once a bear named Smokey
and has lived about 27 years old this was how old that this bear live in the
Smithsonian national zoo In Washington DC. The normal life span for a black bear
is ten years and when they are in the wild then they can live about 30 years old
when they are out on their own in the wild. The Average life span for a black bear

6. is usually 20 years. There are some black bears that can live about 25 years. When
they are in the wild then they will live about 15 years. When the summer ends
then that will be the time when the black bear start to be really fat. These bears
can go for seven months without eating this is starts to happen in the middle of
hibernation. These bears can eat so much food they can easily gain 30 pounds (14
kg) in a week. They need to eat a lot so that they can store a lot of fat so that it
can help the bear to get through the really long cold winter ahead. When the
winter starts to come then this will be the time when black bears start to move
into caves or in hollow logs this is called a den. A den is a place where animals can
hide and to be safe from danger. When the month of October comes and in the
easily November then that will be the time when the bears are in a really fast
sleep that is called hibernation and they will usually do this when they are inside a
den. When it starts to snow and the temperature start to drop down and when it
starts to get really cold then the bears will start to be in a really deep sleep and
they will no long awake until spring. When the first day of spring comes then the
bears will start to wake up from their hibernation. They will start to yawn, stretch
and they will also start to limp out of their dens. Then they will also start to lose
weight to they will only weigh about a half. After hibernation that will also be the
time when the females also start to give birth to cubs. They will start to be really
hungry and thirsty right after hibernation to. These bears will continue to lose
some weight only for a few months but when the summer comes and once again
the food is plentiful for them. Black bears seem to have a really long life span and
people think it has something to do with them sleeping for a long time that
usually takes place in every winter. It is a really cool thing to learn that bears do
not really hibernate. These bears do not usually fall into a deep sleep like
woodchucks and some other animals that till with hibernation. Instead for
sleeping for all winter long they will start to dormant when the winter comes but
they do spent a lot of their time dozing and sleeping but they will become really
active really fast when they are being bothered. There are some areas in the
southern parts of North America that are usually not that cold. Those bears do
not hibernate at all when they are in those types of areas. When the summer
comes then they start to be really fat and they will also be fat during the fall
season to. When the weather starts to turn into cold temperature then that will

7. be the time when they start to be a little drowsy. When the cold seasons arrows
then they will start to look for a den so that they can hide in it and so that they
can be safe from danger. A bears dens can be found in any place but it has to be a
place that has a shelter that can protect them from the weather. The type of dens
that a black bear will usually look for is a pile of rocks, under the roosts of a really
big tree that has fall. If the bear is lucky enough they might find a nice warm cave
or an abandoned mineshaft. Most dens will usually be found on the north side of
an hill or up in the mountains, but if the weather is not that cold then the bears
might just cruel up in the dense thicket of really small trees. There are lots of
bears that can carry a really big pack of leaves and grass that they can be put in
their den so that they can make a really nice bed. Pregnant females will start to
find special dens a one that is bigger and really comfortable. This will also be the
time when the females will start to give birth and to have their babies. But before
they can go into their dens for the winter. This will usually be the time when some
bears will start to stop eating. This will also help them to get rid of all the
materials that is placed in their digestive tract. Before they start to go in the deep
sleep they will have to eat different types of food first and those foods are leaves,
pine needles and sometimes they will also eat their own hair. These materials are
usually form that biologists sometimes call anal plug. They will usually have to get
rid of the plug so that they can make their den clean. When the spring comes then
that will be the time when they start to come out of their dens. When the winter
comes the sleeping bear's temperature will start to go back to normal. The bear
will start to feed it self by getting the layer of the fat that builds them up. There
are a lot of black bears that will start the winter with their layer of their fat is
about five inches (12.8 cm) thick. The layer fat for a really big bear is that they can
weigh as two hundred pounds (91 kg). The bears will start to wake up so that they
can charge their positions. There are a lot of black bears that will start to come
out of their dens in March. The first thing that a bear will do after they had
awakened from their long sleep is that they will drink a lot of water. Some experts
say that they do this because so that they can soften their digestive system.
Before you know it they will start to eat again. The first food that they will eat is
that they will eat grass and buds that had bloomed in the spring. During the
summer and the fall this will be the time when black bears will start to eat a lot of

8. food. All of the food that they eat helps them to build a lot of fat. They will start
to live off their fat during the winter so that they can hibernate. During
hibernation a black bear does not eat during this time because it will spend three
to seven months sleeping in their den. The type of den that a black bear will go
into is a cave or an hollow log. The black bear will stop hibernating when the first
sight of spring comes. When the spring comes than that will be the time when
they will start to wake up and it will also be the time when they start to leave
their dens. After a whole winter and finally spring comes then the bears will start
to be really hungry so the first thing that they will do is find water and to look for
food. When the winter comes that is the time when black bears go into dens so
that they can herniate the bears will usually built them? They will build their dens
in tree cavities, under rocks or logs, in banks or in caves, culverts and in shallow
depressions. Black bears do not usually hibernate but when they enter into a
wonderful state that is called torpor or winter dormancy. When this time happens
this is when the bear will start to shut down the bear's digestive system and their
kidneys so they do eat or drink for seven months. These bears will not urinate or
defecate when they are inside the den. When there body temperature like falls
for only for a few degrees. Then the sleeping bears will start awake really fast if
they are being disturbed. There are a lot scientists that are totally fascinated by
these animals because these animals have the ability to sleep for months and
there loose bones and their muscle mass are being studied for phenomenon that
has really important clues that might help bad ridden people. Black bears will
usually hibernate it really depends on the type weather conditions are in that
area and there is enough food for them Suring the long winter months. There are
some regions where that has a enough food supper and that has lots of warm
weather all winter long. Sometimes bears do not hibernate at all or they do in
such a short time. This will be the time when females will usually start to give
birth and they remain in the den through all winter long .The males and females
that don't have a young then they will start to leave their dens from time to time
during the winter months. Black bears will usually hibernate for eight months. The
other animals that the black bear share its habitat with are brown bears, Bobcat
(also known as the lynx), moose, Golden eagle, and the Eastern chipmunk. Black
bears are known to be really smart animals. They can easily learn that they are

9. curious and they have a really good memory that is because they have amazing
small eyes. Some people don't believe that bears have horrible time seeing but
that is not true these animals really do have an really good eyesight. These bears
can easily tell the difference between colors and these animals can also see well
in the dark. These bears can easily spot any moving item that can be really far
away. When they want to get a better view of their surrounds then they will
usually stand on their high legs so that they can also see things that are far away.
Not only can they see well they can also hear well to. But the best sense that the
bear uses the most is their sense of smell that is known to be the most important
sense to a bear. Their sense of smell helps them to find a mate to avoid any
contact with humans, to find their cubs and they can also use their sense of smell
to gather food. A bear can scent a human that can be over 14 hours away from
where they are. They will usually smell a human when they have passed on a trail.
Lots of experts have shown that they can smell food over three miles away (4.8
km) away. The way that bears can survive in their wildness areas is there senses.
The most important sense for a bear is their sense of smell. That was the first
important sense that the bear has the other sense that they have that happens to
be really helpful to them is their hearing this comes in second this happens to be
the most second most important sense for a bear. The third greatest sense for a
bear is their sight. The black bear can use their keen sense of smell to look for
food. They can use their sense of smell look for all different types of foods which
happen to be plants and other animals. They can use it to find their favorite food
that they like to eat. These animals can smell a dead animal or a dump over seven
miles away. Their amazing good nose can also point out if there is any sign of
danger that can be located in their area. Like if there is a human in the area. Black
bears will usually use their hearing to warn others that there is danger nearby and
that can be coming from a distance. Black bears ears are known to be the biggest
ears then all the bears that can be found in North America. Their ears can also
allow them to hide or to leave if there is any sign of danger that might be coming
their way. Some people have a lot questions about the black bears eyesight even
experts have a hard time figuring it out. Some people are saying that bears do not
have really good eyesight. There were lots of stories that have been proven about
the bears point of view. There are some experts who think that bears do have

10. really good eyesight. They also have been shown that these bears can tell the
difference between objects. It is really nice to say that the black bear has average
eyesight that these animals have. The experts that do agree on thing and that is
they do not even need good eyesight to help them with their survival. Their
hearing and their smelling skills is all they need in horror to survive. There are a
lot people that are making a joke on how blind a black bear is and this is how they
live for a long time in many years. You never know it just might be true. These
animals do not live in a family or in a group that means that they are solitary
animals the only time when they are seen together is when there is a mother and
her cubs that is happing in the breeding season. They might even come together
near any feeding sites. Black bears have really short that are not retractable claws
this will give them the ability to climb a tree. That is why these bears are amazing
tree climbers because of their claws. There are about two subspecies of black
bear that is the North American black bear and the Asiatic black bear. The most
common bear that is in North America is the Black bear these bears are really
known in North America. Sometimes people call the Asiatic black bear the moon
bear. These bears are a lot different than the ones that live in North America that
is because they have really big ears and they also have a really special mark that is
on their chest that is shaped like the letter V. There are a lot of black bears that
have a black coat that has a brown that is located their mouth to their nose area.
But not all the black bear species are known to be black. There are some that
come in tan, reddish brown, gray and they can also come in white to. Bears have
also known to live near where people camp. There are a lot of bears that have
learned that they can look for food in people’s campsites. People that are
camping they have to keep their food away from any reach of bears. It is really
dangerous to feed a wild bears because they will get use to eating human food
and they may never hunt again or eat any wild food again so the best thing to do
if you come in contact with a bear or any other wild animal the best thing to do is
to leave them alone. Some black bears find their food in trash cans. The other
thing that can be dangerous if you feed a bear they can roam into towns they will
start to look for food in trash camps and in down dumps. So the best thing to do is
to leave them alone. If we don't bother them then they will not bother us. The
black bears that live in Pennsylvania are mostly always black but the other bears

11. that live in different parts of North America they will mostly come in all different
colors and those are white, cinnamon, sliver blue, red, brown and they can come
in gray. Black bears not only come in black but they can also come in different
colors to and those colors are brown and red. These bears are known to be the
smallest bear in North America and they are also known to be the best known
bear in North America to. Both the American black bear and the Asian black bear
both look the same but there are some difference between these two bears is
that the Asian black bear has an crescent-shaped that has an white patch on their
chest. That is why sometimes people call this bear the moon bear. Bears are
known to be the really strong animals. They are so strong that they are known to
move rocks and really big logs by even using one paw. There is no animal alive
that is an equal size can be powerful then a bear. The black bear can kill really big
animals like moose, elk, and they can also kill a deer to. With only one bite to
their neck they can easily kill any animal that comes in their way. Black bears have
20 long claws that can be used to rip off the bark of a tree. These animals are
really careful with anything that comes their way. There is only two reasons for a
black bear to attack for food and to defend themselves. These animals will also
hunt really large game animals they will usually stalk them like a cat will do. It is
not true that black bears are really slow. They are known to be really fast animals
they can speed up about 35 to 40 mph (56-64 kmph) in really short distances.
There are a lot of bears that will rather run away from a human then to attack it.
Female bears will often attack when they are trying to protect their young. They
will also attack if their escape route is blocked and if they are protecting food
source or if they just good startled. Not only these bears are amazing tree
climbers but they are also really good swimmers. The black bears got their name
from the very fast biologist that had saw these bears were all black Still today the
bears that live in the east areas of North America are all black or in a really dark
color. Lots of have a patch that is the color white that can be found on their
chests. There are other areas of North America that have other bears seem to in
other colors expert for black. These experts now understand that black bears can
come in different colors to. The bears that have different colors they will use their
colors to blend in with in their habitat. The bears that in the east area are really
black and they have to be black because they live in really heavy and dark forests.

12. The black bears that live on west area are usually found on open areas. So that
their fur can be in a lighter color. The bears that are brown and have a reddish
color these bears usually live in the semi-open forests and they can also be found
in the western mountains. There are two special black bears that live on the
Pacific coast that can be found on the south of Alaska or they can be found on the
northern British Columbia. These bears will usually find their selves living in year
filled with snow and ice glaciers. There was one bear that is called the glacier
bear. These bears are usually the color bluish gray color. The other type of bear
and that is called the Kermode bear these bears are known to be white and they
also have an creamy colored. They two bears got these names because they are
really rare. The black bear has lots of predators that they face and those animals
are mountain lions, grey wolves and they are also getting in trouble with brown
bears to. Black bears are known to be really great swimmers. They can swim as
fast as a mile and a hald that is due all across lakes and rivers. These bears have
been known to swim towards humans when they are on an holiday island
campsite. There was one black bear that has swim 9 miles in the Gulf of Mexico.
Black bears will start to mate during the months of June and July. After the
gestation period then into 215 days they will be ready to have their cubs which
will be born on the months of January or in February. A black bear will usually
have 2 to 3 cubs that is how many cubs that a female can have in her littler. There
are some females that will also have about as long as 5 cubs in a litter. The cubs
will usually be born in the den when the mother is hibernating and when they are
born then they can weigh about 200 to 450g (7-16oz). These cubs are usually born
blind and they will have no fur on them and they will stay with their mother until
the spring season comes. The cubs will continue to drink their mother’s milk until
6 to 8 months but they will remain with their mother for 2 years so that they can
learn how to take of themselves. The cubs will reach maturity when they are
about 2 to 5 years old and after they have their first litter of cubs then they get to
produce cubs every other year after another. Baby black bears are called cubs. A
female black bear will usually have two babies and she will both have them at the
same time. The cubs will be born inside the dens when the mother is hibernating.
This will usually start to happen in the cold winter months like in January and in
February. Newborn cubs are completely helpless and they will need all the help

13. that they need from their mother. The bear will still drink their mother’s milk for
many more years. The cubs will start to leave the den during the spring. Then that
will be the time when the mother will teach them how to look for food. After 18
months has gone by then that will be the time when the cubs are really to face
the world all by themselves. The black bears will start to mate during the months
of May and June. The females will usually be pregnant for eight months. Then she
will be ready to have her cubs in the months of January and February she will
usually have her cubs when she is sleeping in the den. The normal account of cubs
that a black bear can have is up to 2 cubs but there are some bears that can have
more than just 4 cubs that will make a litter. The cubs are known to be really
small and they will weigh about 8.5 and 11.5 ounces (240 to 330 g). A new born
black bear cub will be really helpless, bald and they also be really blind the
moment that they are born. When they are 5 weeks old then that will be the time
when they learn how to walk. When the spring comes then that will be the time
when the cubs will leave the den. The few first months outside of the den can be
really hard for a baby black bear because baby bears face a lot of predators like
eagles, bobcats, or mountain lions. When they are 6 months old then the bears
will start to weight about 55 to 65 pounds (25 to 30 kg). The babies will spend
another winter with their mother inside of the den. After about one year then the
mother will force her cubs to go out on their own. but there is a lot dangers that a
really young bear has to face because an really big male will start to chase them
around even though they do not have a lot of experience telling with big male
bears. The bears are also getting drawn to garbage dumps so that they can get
food to eat. The mating season for a black bear usually starts in the summer. The
gestation period of an black bear is about 63 to 70 days. A female black bear can
have as many as 1 to 6 cubs but they will usually have 2 cubs. The cubs will stay
with their mother for year and a half or even more. These cubs will not stop
drinking their mother’s milk until the cubs are 6 to 8 months years old. These are
the ages that they need to stop drinking their mother’s milk. The females will only
reproduce in every second year or even more. They will usually do that like for
some reason that the cubs died. The females might have a baby again after only
with just one year. Two or three cubs will both be born during the winter season
that will be born when the mother is hibernating. The cubs will usually stay with

14. their mother for only one year. Black bears usually live alone except in the
breeding season which is in the summer. The cubs will stay in the den with their
mother for the first year of their lives and they will stay with the mother for only
one and a half years. Black bears will usually mate in the really hot heat of
Pennsylvania during the mouth of July. The egg is not fertilized when it is not
implanted in the uterus this has to be done before the month of November and
the female will also have to gain some weigh so that she can have an healthy
pregnancy. Black bears will often have twins and they will normally be born right
in the middle of winter. The American black bear will start to mate in the early
summer months. The females will reach maturely in three to four years and they
will usually have two cubs in every other year. The young are usually born in the
middle of winter. The cubs will stay with their mothers only for about a year (that
will also include five months inside the den). These bears might breed really slow
but they can reproduce really fast then the brown bear can. This will help them to
support them when they are hunting and when they are tilling with other
pressures that the black bear faces. The females will give birth to two or to three
cubs these cubs can be really blind and they can also be really helpless to they will
be born during the mid-winter and the mother will nurse them when they are
inside of the den and she will continue to do that until the spring season come, or
when there is an enough food to eat. The mother can be really protective with
their babies. The babies will remain with their mother for only about two years. A
male and a female will usually come together to mate during the summer. After
they are done mating then they will by themselves and they both will start to fat
themselves right before the winters comes. When the gestation period is over
which will usually be at last t for 7 months (even through this means that these
animals will be pregnant late for almost 5 months long). The females will start to
give birth to one or five cubs and she will start to have her cubs at the end of the
winter that is being taken place in her den. These cubs will be completely hairless
and they will totally be very vulnerable. So they rather stay in the den where it is
warm and safe. The heat of the den is rally the mother’s body heat. This will help
her cubs to stay alive in the early days. The black bears will stay with the mother
until they are two years old and until they master the skills that they need to
survive on their own. During the first winter of the cub’s lives they will share the

15. den with their mother. After a year and a half then that will be the time when the
female once again is looking for a new mate. The cubs will get scared away if they
get any contact with an increasingly aggressive mature male. Every single black
bear that lives in Florida they need to have a really big area so that their
population can grow. The size of an black bears habitat must be about 500,000 to
1 million this is how long that their habitat needs to be so they can look for food,
shelter and so that they can find a mate. They are also tilling with loss of habitat
that is also putting a threat on their survival to. but the most popular threat that
is going on with black bears is that people are running over them with cars. This
has happen in the last five years in the past. Cars and other vehicles had killed
about 125 to 175 bears all of. This has been going on in every single year. The
community of Florida are starting grow really fast and they are also putting their
homes onto black bears territory. There will also need a lot of recovery to make
an contribute so that these bears numbers will grow even more, but there are
some people are being really interact with these animals but there are coming
really prevalent really often but it really depends on how many black bears are
dying. There are some states where the black bears numbers are starting to
decline. The problems that they are having in these states are being done by
road-building and also people are also building house on to black bears habitats
this is called housing developments. But their population is really stable in the
state of Pennsylvania. There are a lot of black bears that are being pushed out of
their national parks because people are making natural causes in these parks.
When they are in North America there can be about 600,000 black bears that can
be found on this continent. The populations of black bears that are in the United
states there are about 300,000 of black bears that live on the United States. The
black bears that live in the Louisiana and in the state of Florida there are lots of
subspecies that are being threated because their population is not big enough.
These bears are known to be on the IUCN list. These bears seem to have a really
bright future ahead of them that is because the black bears have the ability to
survive when they are living near people. They seem to be continuing with their
good future to. but people will also have to learn that they need to give the black
bears a enough space in their forests habitats so that everyone can enjoy these
beautiful bears. There has been little understood about this bear that is because

16. of their behavior that is why little is told about these bears this has been going on
till not very long ago. Today black bears are being feared and hated to. Black
bears have been killed to make vermin, food and they will also kill them to make
trophies out of them to. Lots of people seen these animals as an vicious beast or
they can also look at it like it is an endless commodity that can be found in lots of
different areas. Not so many years ago there have been lots of rewards that had
been paid for the black bears. For centuries the British Queen's foot Guard's hat
has been made out of black bear fur. The normal name of this hat is called the
bearskin. Black bears are really rare species of the bear family. These bears have
been killed to make trophies to hunters that had killed them. The game managers
have destroyed lots of the black bears numbers because they are shooting them a
lot. We do not want these wonderful animals to be extinct. We must do
something ti help and to save these amazing animals. These bears need all the
help that they can get. Black bears have the right to continue living on this planet.
They are doing their part in nature and we should find a place in nature to. This is
a really big planet that is filled with wonders and discoveries that are waiting to
be found. We have to make this planet safe for us and other creatures that the
share this planet with. This is a really big, bright and beautiful future if we find a
way to project our planet, our world and our home will be a much happier and
cleaner place to live on. We have to make room for other living creatures to. God
made animals for a reason just like he made us. That is what I know about black
bears. If we work together we can save the black bear and other animals that lives
on this planet to, Together we can make a difference in our beautiful planet that
we all share.
