The first biologist to conduct a survey of animals in North America (1700s) saw only individuals with black coats (almost all bears east of the Mississippi have black coats) so he named them 'Black bears'. Only much later did the investigations in the western regions reveal bears of the same species that were brown, blond, cinnamon, bluish, or even white! The last two ARE uncommon and are found along Alaska's coastline as well as coastal British Columbia, Canada. That is why they were the last to be reported.
