Black Bear Tracking in Forest Debris

 

This black bear made his way up a hillside and left plenty of sign in the ferns and leaves on the forest floor. The bear rested there on the hillside, even constructing a bear bed at the base of a tree. There was a second bear bed found not far from the first. Were there two bears, or was the same bear there for two nights? Discover what the bear found to eat and where it got water to drink.

 

Black bears are amazing and intelligent. They can survive in seemingly harsh environments. This bear's trail gives us a brief glimpse into the life of a black bear!
