The Black Bear is found throughout Canada and much of the United States. Its diet consists of a variety of vegetation, fish and small animals. Generally a solitary animal, the Black Bear is an excellent climber, has a well-developed sense of smell and good hearing. The Black Bear is not a true hibernator; it can be aroused from its den if the weather becomes warm or if startled. Not all Black Bears are black — some have rusty brown or grey coats.
