The American black bear (ursus americanus) is an omnivore with a voracious appetite in the fall as it's preparing for hibernation.

The diet of a black bear includes the following:

  • Vegetation: up to 85% of total diet
  • Will eat, but not seek out roots, bulbs, corms and tubers.
  • In the spring they feed on carrion and newborn ungulates (antelope, elk)
  • They enjoy new shoots and tree/shrub buds.
  • Summer diet includes berries, fruits, buds.
  • Autumn diet includes hazlenuts, oak acorns, pine nuts, huckleberries.
  • They always enjoy insects (bees, yellow jackets, ants)
  • They seek out honey.
  • Fishing at night for salmon, and anytime for suckers, trout, catfish.
Black bears do not eat sunflower seeds normally in the wild, but if they come into a populated area, they are known for robbing bird feeders, and there they might find sunflower seeds.

Typically, no most species of foxes do not eat seed. However, if a fox is hungry enough it will eat seeds to survive.
