The American black bear is a medium bear from North America. It is the smallest and most common bear on the continent. These bears eat both plants and meat. Their diet changes a lot based upon the season and location.

They do not have a close link to brown bears or polar bears. Genetic studies show they split from a common ancestor long ago. American and Asian black bears are close sister types. They share a closer bond with each other than with other living bears.

These bears have wide skulls with narrow snouts and large jaw hinges. In Virginia, adult skulls average 10.3 to 12.5 inches long. Across North America, the biggest skulls measure from 9.3 to 13.8 inches.
