When do black bears breed?

Because of this, female bears usually give birth only every other year.

Are black olives good for you?

AnswerYes. Olives are because they are concentrated in monounsaturated fats and a good source of vitamin E. Because monounsaturated fats are less easily damaged than polyunsaturated fats, it's good to have some in our cells' outer membranes and other cell structures that contain fats, such as the membranes that surround the cell's DNA and each of its energy-producing mitochondria. The stability of monounsaturated fats translates into a protective effect on the cell that, especially when combined with the antioxidant protection offered by vitamin E, can lower the risk of damage and inflammation. In addition to vitamin E, olives contain a variety of beneficial active phytonutrient compounds including polyphenols and flavonoids, which also appear to have significant anti-inflammatory properties.

No, the heaviest recorded weight of a black bear is 880 pounds, killed during a legal harvest season in North Carolina in 1999 (or close to that year). I don't have the body measurements.

This answer might be for brown bears or a poor estimate for a big black bear, but is definitely not a recorded weight.

"12 1/2 feet long and weighed an estimated 1600 pounds(Now THAT'S BIG!)"

The largest black bear ever killed was in North Carolina in 1998. The bear weighed 880 pounds. This is a certified record for our state. Our coastal plain bears grow large and fat, due to abundance of soybean fields and corn grown in the area. Recent studies done by Duke University show males in the mountains average only around 370 pounds, while those in our coastal plain averaged 560 pounds.
