MassWildlife Black Bear Biology FAQs
While insects comprise an important part of a black bear’s diet, particularly in summer, vertebrate prey is less commonly taken. Black bears will scavenge carcasses of winter-killed deer or other hoofed animals in spring after den emergence. However, most living prey animals are too swift or elusive to be caught by black bears on a regular basis. An exception occurs during a brief period in spring when newborn moose, deer, or caribou young are vulnerable. Black bears were presumed to be the largest source of moose calf mortality when black bear numbers were 10 times greater than brown bears and when black bear densities were greater than 520 per 1000 mi². Predation nearly ceased by the time the calves are 2 months old. However, cow moose will aggressively defend their young against bear attack, and bears may be injured or killed when attempting to prey on moose calves. In Newfoundland, black bears accounted for 35% of caribou calf mortalities, 62% of which occurred within 4 ... [Read More]
MassWildlife - Black Bears
Despite popular belief, black bears are not fierce. Their first response is usually to flee and in woodland areas the bears may disappear long before they are seen. Black bears sometimes can become habituated to human presence and conditioned to human food sources. These circumstances may then lead to damage or depredations which have unfortunate consequences if people then destroy the bear out of fear or to alleviate the damage. Black bears rarely harm people, although minor defensive attacks can occur when people tease or closely approach bears in parks or campgrounds. Female black bears defend their cubs by putting them up a tree. The sows may huff and blow and make short rushes at people who get near the cubs, but will almost never press home an attack. Deliberate predatory attacks are very rare and typically occur in remote areas. ... [Read More]
