***About Black Bears:

*** Often emblematic of wilderness, black bears (Ursus americanus) are widely distributed across North America. They are versatile in habitat use, adapting to forested areas from Canada to Mexico. Primarily omnivorous, their diet varies greatly depending on season and location, including fruits, nuts, and small vertebrates. Black bears are generally solitary animals, with females being fiercely protective of their cubs. Their population in Nova Scotia, specifically, is part of the broader North American bear population known for their relatively shy behavior and ability to coexist near human habitats without significant conflict.
