Are black bears nocturnal?

Bears may be active either day or night. In wilderness areas far from people, they are often active during the day, generally considered crepuscular near people (active dawn and dusk) but bears very close to people are often nocturnal. Also, bears spend more time eating in the fall to fatten up for winter, called hyperphagia. During this time, they are active both night and day.
