The home range of an American black bear can vary greatly depending on the location, the season, food availability, the density of other individuals in the surrounding area, and the sex and age of the bear in question. The home range of a male is normally much larger than that of a female, and each male's home range will usually overlap the home ranges of several females. Generally, the poorer the habitat, the larger the home range must be in order to support the bear with enough food, water, and shelter and potential mates. In some extreme instances a male American black bear can have a home range of over 100 square miles, a more typical size would be: Males 8 to 60 square miles and females 2 to 15 square miles.
