The American Black Bear is found only in North America and it is estimated that there are approximately 750,000 that live in the forests. They can be found as far south as Florida and northern Mexico and as far north as forests grow in Alaska and Canada.
The black bear is probably one of the most popular species of animal that are referenced throughout the world in ancient and modern literature, songs, legends, mythology and songs. Most children learn about black bears through books, stuffed animals and stories and consider them to be large furry friends. They should also be taught of the dangers that could surround the black bear in its natural environment especially when a mother and her cubs are involved.
When crossing paths with a black bear pay close attention to the black bear's body motions or sounds as this can tell you a great deal. The black bear is not known as a killer and will generally run in the other direction. Like many animals, they rarely attack unless they are cornered, threatened or wounded.
