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 usually live in large forests but leave these areas to find food. Sometimes they visit human towns because they find food easily there. The American black bear is the most common bear species in the world.

The main conservation group lists this animal as a low-risk species. It has a huge range and massive population. Experts believe its numbers are twice as large as all other bear species combined.

This animal and the brown bear face no global threat of dying out. The other six bear species are in danger. Black bears often bite and scratch trees. This action leaves marks to talk with other bears. Many other bear species share this same communication habit.
