Description

The American Black Bear (Ursus Americanus) is a medium-sized bear native to North America. It is the smallest and most distributed species of bear on the continent. American Black Bears are omnivores, and their diets vary greatly from time to time. They usually live in forested areas but leave forests for food because of the immediate availability of food brought to them by humans. The US Black Bear is the most common species of the world's bears. They seem to be moving awkwardly, but they are very fast. Once recorded, some of these bears reach a speed of more than 30 mph (50 kph) at short distances.
