Thought to have a population as high as 600000, the American black bear is far and away the most numerous of the world. As omnivores they are highly effective hunters, however the number of current black bears may be higher than it should naturally be. This is because humans killed most of the wolves and grizzly bears in the USA. As a result black bears who are lower on the food chain have been filling in an ecological niche at the top. In areas where wolves or grizzly bears returned the black bears suddenly become far less problematic.
Over time we hope to list many places where you can visit bears and see them in their wild home, these will appear at the bottom of the page, below the video, and out list of all articles which mention this species. Should you run some sort of black bear watching tourism of any kind, do add your details, and your destination will appear at the bottom of the page.
