The Black Bear like all bears is a predator, meaning its a carnivore but it is also an omnivore. They can reach top speed of 25 miles an hour. This is incredibly fast saying that they can weigh from 220-594 pounds. The Black Bear's coat is well adapted to the cold weather of winter because of its many layers of shaggy fur. Its claws are also very adapted to its enviroment, this is because they are just the right length to climb the many trees that surround its home. The Black Bear also hibernates to avoid having to find food in the winter.
