The black bear is approximately 4 to 7 feet from nose to tail, and two to three feet high at its tallest point.  It has small eyes, rounded ears, a long snout, a large body, a short tail, and shaggy hair.  It differs from grizzly bears in being smaller with a smaller shoulder hump, a furred rear instep, a less concave facial profile, smaller claws that are more tightly curved, and longer, smoother, and more tapered ears.

The American black bear is found only in North America.  The population is estimated at 750,000.  They live in forests as far south as Florida and northern Mexico and as far north as forests grow in Alaska and Canada. In northern Labrador, where grizzly bears no longer live, black bears range out onto open tundra where there are no trees to escape into.  People are becoming more tolerant of black bears as we learn more about them.  Many people are enjoying having bears live close to them where the bears were once feared and killed.

Black bears are noted for their intelligence: Large brain compared to body size. One of the more intelligent mammals.  Navigation ability superior to humans. Excellent long-term memory.  Can generalize to the simple concept level.

The greatest misconception about black bears is that they are likely to attack people in defense of cubs.  They are highly unlikely to do this.
