How long can bears live?

Answer 1

I imagine it depends on the species but black bears can live as long as 23 years in the wild. Their chances of reaching that age are pretty slim though. Survival rates of juveniles and sub-adults are generally less than 50%. Adult bears have an annual survival rate of 50 - 80%, depending on the location. So it's pretty rare to find a bear more than 10 years old. I imagine it depends on the species but black bears can live as long as 23 years in the wild.

Answer 2

The oldest recorded was shot aged 41 years in New York State 1974. Black bears can live to 30 years in the wild but most often live for only about 10, mostly because of encounters with humans. More than 90% of black bear deaths after the age of 18 months are the result of gunshots, trapping, motor vehicle accidents, or other interactions with humans.
