They live up to be at least 3-4years old. you may get lucky and it may live longer. my classroom pet is a black bear hamster and this is her 5th year! so u never know how long they can live
about 2 years

yes there are a few in the forest, but the pnf has seen terrible habitat loss due to ohv's and too many roads.

about 500 too 1200 pound heavy and when standing on hign legs 10 feet tall

Yes, a hungy bear will eat any animal it can catch.

Generally speaking, American black bears are forest dwellers. They can be found in deciduous, coniferous, or mixed forest regions from sea level to 10,000 feet in elevation. The habitat is usually characterized by thick understory vegetation and an abundant supply of fruit and nut bearing trees and shrubs. However, they can also be found in the swamplands of the southeastern United States and the scrub lands of the southwest. A subspecies of the American black bear even lives in the frozen tundra regions of Alaska and Canada.

I think yes if they had nothing else to eat....

They're equally bad.

the average offspring of a bear is 2. But the offspring depends on the species.

look how big they are

A Tibetan blue bear is an extremely rare species of brown bear found in the Tibetan plateau and is thought to be what the yeti is because both can stand on 2 legs.

Despite it's name, it's not blue but a brown or whitish colour. It is thought by some people to be extinct but some still survive but it is very little known and sightings are extremely rare.

Yes, all mammals are warm blooded.

Black bears hunt fish berries ect bears sleep bears sometimes attack humans

They evolved the dark coat to conceal them in their nocturnal wanderings. Some black bears are not black. In some western areas, brown or "cinnamon" colored black bears are found, and British Columbia has the Kermode bear, a black bear whose population has around 10% of it's population being white or cream colored. The Glacier bear, of southern Alaska, has a blue gray color to its coat.

Not if it can't smell food. If a bear smells food, he'll come. But bears are smart: they'll come snooping around after the humans have gone to bed.

Bears are bilaterally symmetrical.

It is estimated that up to 90 percent of all black bear-inflicted deaths are motivated by predatory drive (killing the person in order to eat him or her). If a black bear begins following or stalking you, yelling and throwing rocks at the bear will sometimes discourage it and cause it to discontinue the predatory behavior. In that situation, experts agree that you should fight back with everything you have, because your life depends on it.

Predatory black bear attacks tend to occur in broad daylight, but are rare in a campsite situation for some reason. Predatory black bears are sometimes in a starvation mode, such as during a drought, or when the berry crop fails, but that is not always the case. Predatory grizzly attacks usually occur at night, and typically involve campers in tents.

All bears are classified under the family Ursidae. In taxonomy, genus is the grouping directly under family. The bear genus splits into 16 known groups. For example, brown, black, and polar bears fall under the genus Ursus. The sun bear of Southeast Asia is under the genus Helarctos.

They don't generally in Virginia due to the fact that we don't have extremely cold winters warranting the need to hibernate. But they will hibernate if it gets cold enough just like the other species that live in colder climates.

yes

Black bears are omnivores. I doubt that in most situations that they would expend the energy to specifically target a squirrel. Black Bears (like most creatures) must balance the potential nutritional intake vs. the calorie expenditure to pursue the meal. If presented and easy opportunity, I feel strongly that a black bear would eat a squirrel. I have witnessed bears eating berries & nuts, but also have witnessed black bears eating another black bear so squirrel would definitely be on the menu.
