Black bears typically have three cubs in a litter. Less often, but quite frequently, black bears will have two or four offspring. Even less often, black bears will produce one or five offspring.

The first time a sow bears offspring, she will often bear only one cub and will usually produce an average of three cubs every two years after that.

In food poor years, black bears will often produce fewer offspring due to the process of delayed implantation, which allows bear populations to regulate their own numbers.
