It is the continent's smallest and most widely distributed bear species. Black bears are omnivores, with their diets varying greatly depending on season and location. They typically live in forests but are also found in mountains and swamps. Despite their name, black bears can have coats of several colors, including black, brown, blonde, and even white in rare cases, such as the Kermode bear. Highly adaptable, they have been shown to adjust their dietary habits in proximity to human development, often resulting in their increased presence near urban areas.
