These bears are highly adaptable and reside in a variety of habitats, including forests, mountains, and swamps. Black bears can vary in color from black to cinnamon and even white, with adults usually weighing between 100 to 600 pounds. Despite their name, black bears are more often shy and have diverse diets that include plants, insects, and small mammals. Their adaptiveness to different environments has played a crucial role in their survival, allowing them to thrive in areas ranging from the deep wilderness to locales surprisingly close to human activity.
