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.
Symbolism and Inspiration of the Bear
Since the beginning of time it is believed the
healing and inspirational power of wild animals
can be a
source of guidance in our daily lives. According to
ancient beliefs, the bear is known in many
cultures as a symbol of power, strength and an awakening
of the unconscious. Bear's wisdom lies in knowing that
change and transformation are brought about by
visualizing new outcomes and fresh beginnings. The bear
teaches us that with quiet introspection comes the art
of turning goals into reality and that the answers to
life's questions resides within us.
