Depends on the species and size of the black bear. A black bear can weigh from 300-880 pounds, and stand up to 6.6 ft tall on hind legs. Some black bears are big and tough enough to even fight brown bears and grizzly bears!

The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) is North America's smallest bear. While the East Coast bears tend to be heavier than the West Coast bears, the adult males average anywhere between 125 and 550 pounds. Ely, Minnesota is home to the largest live captive male and female bears. The male, Ted, weighed 950-1,000 pounds in autumn of 2006. The female, Honey, weighed 555 pounds in autumn of 2007. As of March 13, 2011, they are both awake from their winter slumber. And they are hungry.
