They are the smallest on the North American continent though its species Ursus americanus has several subspecies in B.C. (Blood, Black Bears in British Columbia 2001). Most bears are black, hence the name black bear, however, they can have a variety of different shades of brown coat and sometimes even white (Blood, Black Bears in British Columbia 2001). These bears become sexually mature once they reach the age range of 3-4 years with females reproducing every 2-3 years (Bears in Mountain National Park 2016).

In the rock walls of the exhibit, two big holes were also present, as an educated guess, I would believe that to be the polar bears den to stay in for when he is not out in the exhibit. Unfortunately, no zoo employee’s or signs were present for me to get an insight on their daily life or diet at the zoo. However, according to a entry on animaldiversity.org, “Polar bears are inactive most…

    Essay On Bear Management

    Knowing the difference between a black bear and a grizzly can be beneficial to those who saunter through the vast Montana wilderness. Both types of bears can vary in color (which can range from blond to black) so their coloring isn’t the best way to judge what they are ("Bear Identification," n.d.) They do have distinct differences that is easier to discern from each other--such as a grizzly bear possessing a hump ,whereas a black bear does not; a grizzly’s rump is lower than its hump, whereas the black bear’s rump is higher than its front shoulder; a grizzly has short and rounded ears, front claws that are 2 to 4 inches and curved, tracks where the claw marks are usually visible in marks, and a face profile that shows an appearance that is dished-in between the eyes and snout, whereas the black bear has tall and pointed ears, claws that are less than 2 inches and curved with claw marks that are not usually visible in tracks, and a face profile that is straight ("Bear Identification," 2015.) It is especially important to know these differences when hunting (because grizzlies are protected) or if there is a bear encounter. Black bears tend to be less aggressive than grizzlies and are more adept at climbing trees (Gunther, 2006.)…
