Description
While staying at a friend's home in northern Wisconsin recently we saw this big black bear crossing our yard.
The American black bear (Ursus americanus, previously known as Euarctos americanus) is a medium-sized bear native to North America. It is the continent's smallest and most widely distributed bear species. American black bears are omnivores, with their diets varying greatly depending on season and location. They typically live in largely forested areas, but do leave forests in search of food. Sometimes they become attracted to human communities because of the immediate availability of food. The American black bear is the world's most common bear species. The fur is usually, but not always, black and some subspecies do not show as black.
