The Black Bear Bears have been an important part of history in Wisconsin. The Native Americans honored the bear as a supernatural being and treated the bear hunt with great ceremony and respect. They prized bear skins for robes and the meat and oil for cooking, fuel and medicines. The settlers also placed great value on bear meat and especially sought the bearskins with which they made clothing and bedding. As more settlers moved into Wisconsin, however, there was conflict between people and bears. Bounty systems were set up to encourage killing of the "noxious pests" and fur traders paid high prices for bearskins. This large-scale killing caused the numbers of bears to decrease. Logging and settlement also reduced the bear's habitat and numbers. In 1930, people began to protec Read More Go to Site eNature: America's Wildlife Resource Votes:0 About eNature | Get eNature Content | Contact | eCards | Wildlife list Login | Help plants & animals articles eCards help photographers Species Search: Wildlife Guides Field Guides All Species Endangered Species Poisonous Species Advanced Search by Description Birding All Birds Birds Audio Regional Guides Migration Hawkwatch Sky Guide Mammal Tracks Articles Archive Local Nature ZipGuide Local Endangered Species Gardening For Wildlife All Plants Native Plant Guide Invasive Plant Guide Personal Wildlife List Ask an Expert Ask a Question Birding Answers Archive Backyard Nature Archive Wildlife Answers Archive ParkGuides Fun and Games Ecards Screen Savers Contests & Quizzes Flash Cards Link to us Related Links Advanced Search Select an option Learn what wildlife lives in my area Identify an an Read More Go to Site endangered animals - reports Votes:0 Reports James F.

Black bears are a fairly small species growing to about 5 feet. Some black bears don't look like black bears because they are brown. Baby black bears weigh less than a pound when they are born. Black bears can run about 30 miles per hour. They define their territories by leaving scents and scratches on trees.

Their ancestors colonized the New World about 3.5 million years ago, following the Bering Land Bridge route that the Tremarctine (short-faced) bears had followed about 12 million years earlier. These early black bears found themselves in a world already well-populated with large, dangerous predators. In addition to at least two species of very large short-faced bears, there were cats; big cats. The first cats arrived in North America about 36 million years ago and had evolved into many species, some of which were larger than any living lions and tigers. At the time the black bears arrived there were three main groups of cats, the sabre-toothed cats, the scimitar-toothed cats, and the true c Read More Go to Site The Asiatic Black Bear Votes:0 The A siatic Black Bear The Asiatic, or Tibetan, black bear, Ursus thibetanus , is in many ways very similar to its cousin, the American black bear, even though the two species have evolved separately for over three million years. At that time their common ancestors lived in western Asia, perhaps in the area of the Russian far east and further south. During a glacial period over three million years ago when sea levels were low, bears from the northernmost population must have expanded across the Bering Land Bridge to the New World and occupied the areas above the ice sheets. During these interglacial periods, the Land Bridge and the area that it connected (also referred to as Beringia) was a fairly flat area, rising gradually to meet what are now the edges of the continents.
