Numbering upwards of 100,000, black bears live throughout most of Ontario. They primarily inhabit forested areas where they are best able to find food, refuge and den sites.
Black bears come in more colors than any other North American mammal and can be black, brown, cinnamon, blond, blue-gray, or even white.
With the heaviest brain relative to body length of any land carnivore, black bears are one of the more intelligent mammals and have excellent long-term memory.
