*** About Black Bears: Black bears are native to North America and are most commonly found in forested regions. These mammals are adaptable and vary in color from black to light brown, making them unique among their species. Despite their name, not all black bears are completely black. They have a keen sense of smell, and although primarily solitary animals, females are known for their strong maternal instincts, as depicted in this artwork. Their diet is omnivorous, making them integral to their ecosystems by controlling insect populations and spreading seeds. Conservation efforts are crucial to maintaining the balance between these majestic creatures and human populations, particularly in places like Victoria, BC, where they are often admired and depicted in local art.
