Berries and grubs. Just a heads up for those who like hiking in the fall - be careful, don't be too quiet, and carry bear spray. Have it ready to use. Either that, or someone has to come along later and shoot the bear you startled.

How does a black bear have to change its physical appearance or behavior to survive in its environment?

Black bears do not shed their summer coats for a winter color but the fur becomes thicker as fall approaches and the temperature drops. The bears, where winters are harsh, will eat large amounts of food to put on winter fat to carry them through the season when forage is scarce. They will also den up and go into a deep sleep (not hibernation) to conserve energy.

Do bears bury there food in the winter?

Bears do not typically bury their food for winter. Instead, they enter a state of hibernation, during which they rely on fat reserves accumulated during the warmer months. Some bears may cache food in the ground or under leaves, but this is more common in preparation for winter, rather than as a behavior specifically for winter survival. Once in hibernation, they do not eat or seek food until they emerge in spring.
