Black Bears of North America Reach Across Continents
Uncle Rays Corner describes black bears as widespread across Canada and parts of the United States and Mexico. It notes an estimated total of about a quarter to half a million, newborn cubs weighing under a pound, and adults ranging from 200 to 360 pounds with possibilities of 600 pounds. Dens are caves, ground holes, brush piles, or hollow trees where bears hibernate through winter. Snow helps insulate them, they sleep for months, and in spring they drink from water sources before foraging for roots and a broad diet.
