BLACK BEAR

Did you ever see a black bear in the winter? Almost all

bears hibernate in the winter. Bears build their den where

they will sleep. Bears do not eat in their den nor go out for

eating. They get their energy from food they stored within

their being the whole summer long.

In the summer, the bear eats enough food to last him the

whole winter. The fat is accumulating within the bear's skin.

This fat, and also his fur, aids him to stay warm in the winter

in order to survive. When the animal sleeps all winter long,

we call it hibernation.

Cubs are born in the winter when the mother bear is in

the den. Cubs get their warmth from their mother's fur. Cubs

get their food energy from their mother's milk.

Mother Bear And Her Cubs

When spring arrives, this mother bear is very lean and

hungry. She leaves her dwelling place and takes her cubs with

her. Mother bear looks after her cubs for two years, she

teaches them how to find food and how they will care for

themselves when in danger. Bears will eat all kinds of fish,

berries, honey, ants, and other little animals.
