Adapted to a wide variety of environments, from the deep woods of Canada to the swamps of Florida, black bears are omnivorous creatures, feeding on a diet rich in fruits, nuts, insects, and occasionally small mammals. Despite their name, their fur can range from black to brown, cinnamon, or even blonde. Weighing between 100 to 600 pounds, depending on their diet and environment, American black bears possess keen intelligence and curiosity, often observed using tools and solving complex problems, especially in search of food.
