Missing 7 JUN 2005.
American Black Bears (Ursus americanus) facts:
Smallest of North American Bears: Up to 6 feet long and up to 300 lbs.
Less aggressive than other bears, generally shy and reclusive.
Their fur ranges in color from black to brown.
They are solitary animals.
The front claws are longer than the rear claws.
Black Bears are good swimmers and can also climb trees.
They have a good sense of smell but have poor eyesight.
Adults “Woof” when startled: They are afraid of Grizzly Bears.
When very young, the cubs cry when afraid and hum when contented.
At birth the cubs are blind and deaf, and weigh 1/2 to one pound.
Cubs stay with the mother for about one year.
American Black Bears are omnivores. They do love honey!
A male's territory overlaps with the territories of other males. Females do not share their territories.
The gall bladder is sought after as an aphrodisiac.
Black bears live to be about 10 years old.
When you’re ready to go on a “Bear Hunt”, go to Bear Creek Park and park in the equestrian parking area. Follow the path to the two white fence poles and the snake sign. From this sign cross the meadow to a trail. (There are two trails: one has a double-trunked tree in front of it (on the left), the other has a single-trunked tree in front of it (straight ahead). You want the trail straight ahead, behind the single-trunked tree.) Follow the trail a short distance to a clearing in the trees. You will see a trail sign high on a tree. Follow the Start-Tall Pine Trail. Continue on this trail until you see a tree leaning over the trail and a “Nature Trail” sign on your left. Walk about 34 paces to your right to the third large tree off the trail. The box is under the tree on the back side, inside the split, and covered in twigs and leaves. Please be discreet and replace the box as you found it, making sure it is sealed well.
