Black Bears and Brown Bears DO live in the same area. Living in Alaska, I have seen (about a week ago) a brown bear in an area where I had seen a mother black bear and her cub two days before.

No. Brown bears are a different species from black bears. Brown bears are significantly larger than black bears by a ratio of around 2:1. They have a dished face and are always a deep brown (coastal brown bears) to blond with dark brown legs, face and ears (inland bears). They also tend to have a hump over the shoulders and a broad forehead. Black bears, on the other hand, are primarily black with a light muzzle and sometimes white on the chest. The face is flat, not dished, and they lack a hump over the shoulders.

Brown bears are the northern subarctic/arctic versions of the Grizzly bear, and thus are only found in the northern parts of Canada (Northwest Territories, Yukon and some in Nunavut), most of Alaska, and Russia, residing primarily in subarctic to arctic environments. Black bears are found all over North America in varying habitats, from forest to desert, and share relatives in not just North America, but also in Asia.

Both bears are omnivorous, though it's commonly known that black bears tend to be more carnivorous than brown or grizzlies, especially with the way that a person must respond to an encounter with a bear: brown bears/grizzlies you play dead, black bears you fight back tooth and nail.

The thing that these two species share is that they are, indeed, both bears, and share the same Genus, being Ursus. However, the similarities end there, as explained above.

Yes, it is just a term for the type of bear. They can be brown black and sometime like the color of ash.

Yes. A brown bear, especially a grizzly bear, would kill and eat a black bear.

No. They're solitary creatures, except when a sow is with her cubs, or when a boar is with a sow that's soon ready to mate.
