5 Of The Most Distinctive Black Bear Subspecies In North America

I guess people are actually seeing freaking bears near me in Ohio, we have this little section left that's actually green in the NE part (due to all the parks or whatever) but they apparently found it along with fishers (a huge weasel) and they're moving back in after being locally extinct since the mid-1800's. I guess trappers/hunters just killed the stragglers way back then because I'm sure these spots existed then and everything was just generally a million times healthier, I'm glad we're mostly over killing everything in sight... well those people still exist but there are more laws now.

Can you do African vs European animals

Winnie the Pooh is probably a yellow spirit bear.

Spirit bears have Oedipus complex. 😂

What I don’t get is how are are there extant black bear populations in densely populated places like New Jersey and Connecticut but they’re extinct in much more wild places like the Dakotas and Eastern Montana. What’s the story behind that?

A few years ago I was hiking in the Sierra Nevadas when I came across a blonde black bear.

One subspecies of Black Bear I find rather interesting is the Eastern Black Bear/Ursus Americanus Americanus. In which thanks to the lack of competition from larger bear species is also much larger than other subspecies of black bear.
Being naturally, the apex predator of the St. Lawrence Lowland forest.

i know that here in Ontario Canada there are also bears, in fact i know of 3 species, the Black bear, the Polar bear and the Teddy bear, in our area of Ontario 200 miles north of Toronto bears are sometimes seen, but i am not sure if there is a fixed population, i do know that several cities in the area are now using security with flash-bangs to scare them of the garbage/waste depot's and that in town the garbage bins are sometimes raided , but that's not always a bear but sometimes a "trash panda" (raccoon).

Would a male sport bear and a female sport bear birth only spirit bears? Either way that’s cool and shouldn’t ever be hunted.

I’ve lived in Berea Ky 30 years this summer was the first time I’ve seen a black bear in town. Somethings pushing these bears further north I things it’s the wild pig problem down south competition for food. Packs off wolves would most likely clean that mess up fast.

Positive assortative mating sounds like racism hahaha

There's bison in Florida?!

You should make a video about brown bear subspecies next. There's some really interesting ones out there.

Strange how the white or kermode bear had been given the protection by the First Nations peoples of the BC coast,..yet here comes white people and tourism to get into the bears peace.Seems forever doesn’t last that long.

I'm Tsimshian and Tlingit, glad to hear about animals from Southeast Alaska and British Columbia (I live in the only reservation in Alaska) =>

There are black bears in Russia and japan

Nice video, but are there bears that used to be in Africa?😅👋🌫️🐩

Cinnamon bears are NOT a subspecies but are found among black and brown colored black bears across their range.

What happened to ur older videos? Can u please re-upload them?

Not him calling my brown butt a color morph

Wow thank you for the video. I didn’t know there’s more other colors of black bears. That reminds me I saw a cinnamon bear in sequoia national park long time ago. He was pretty big! He even came to our car and smelled us then walked away.

If you like bears donate to the bear association of America.

A few days ago I was up north in Minnesota at the Vince Shute bear reserve, I lost count at 75 wild bears. Cubs playing in the trees was incredible to see.

Excellent video 😊

I think another reason why some black bears are brown is to deal with warmer climates such as Arizona and California with can get warmer than say Michigan and Canada

Bears some of the Most underrated and story book-analyzed animals

Keystonespecies VERY 🫡

What sub species are in New Mexico,???

Ray Stevens: "Every bear is beautiful, in its own way..."

Sorry, spirit bears are also in northern Alberta. I know I had a close encounter with one when I was 12.

Always knew the Battlestar Galactica chose black bears for a reason

Glacier bears are my favorite. It's too bad they're not protected like spirit bears.💙

"Increased poaching for Chinese medicine", but black bears "only exist in America'
Hmmm....
Maybe we should limit Chinese immigrants into Canada. . .

Black bear variants are found in Asia. Theres the Sun Bear for one.

I live in northeastern NC we got black bears boy they be out here

Racist bears who knew

Black Bears also live in Asia, where they're nicknamed Moon Bears due to the white crest on their chest. 😁

I like in far northern california in the klamath mountains off grid.
Fish and wildlife claims california has around 60 thousand no in whole state .
From game cameras on my land and in hunting the klamath and siskiyous I would bet there are over 30,000 in Del Norte and siskiyou counties alone.
Every young Redwood and Douglas fir tree around is stripped of bark to get tp the cambiam layer of sap.
Every sow I see now has twins or triplets the black bear is way outa control for its eco system and will soon bust if something not done in control .
Once a eco system had too many animals it will go on a bust cycle as it'd food source will be destroyed.
Deer will be first to go then it's browsing and grazing depleted and finally everything will be completely out of balance.

Is the cinnamon bear actually its own subspecies or just a color phase? I hunted and spent as much time as possible outside of almost 40 years in northern California and I’ve seen blonde, brown, cinnamon and black bears. I’d say brown/cinnamon are the most common at least in the areas I frequented.

A Spirit Bear is only 495 LB's? The average Texan is bigger than that.

Always the bloody Chinese 🤬🤬🤬

I ❤ Bears and Salmon

I carry in the woods, Im not foolish. Hope I never need it.

Years ago my sister saw a very large cinnamon black bear in northern Maine not far from our camp.

I live in the part of Arkansas (Amity near Hot Springs) that the map says there's no bears, it's wrong. I've seen several and every few years in Hot Springs one has to be tranquilized and moved out of Hot Springs. My sister (and others) has lots in Hot Springs Village) see a couple yearly. To the point the HOA is considering requiring trash cans to be kept in the garage

These bears are incredibly elusive. Here in Maine we have the largest concentration of black bears in the US and I have only seen 1 in the wild in over 40 years living here. And I spend a lot of time in the outdoors

So it is not racist to prefer your own race?

My sister lives outside Phillipe, West Virginia and had a cinnamon bear visit her backyard.

Black bears are welcome in my state if they don’t like other bears! Ahem, the prey animals of black bears would probably disagree, but we don’t have any other types of bears here 😄

Sorry i put the wrong scientific name for the coastal sea wolf. The scientific name is for a frog and i use it as a place holder, please ignore :)
