The Black Bear

An endangered animal is one who is so limit in numbers that the animal is at risk of extinction. An animal in the Black Hills that few known as endangered is the Black Bear. This animal is endangered because people felt the bear was a threat and hunted them. A bear's habitat is mainly a forest, but people cut down trees and this destroys their habitat. The bears then run away and have no place to live.

The Black bear is on average about five five feet long, two-three feet in height and 270 pounds, with males being larger then females. The average lifespan of the Black bear is ten years. Being omnivores, it is accustomed to eating grass, berries and nuts and when scarce, they eat small animals and fish, making the Black Hills an ideal place for the bear. The Black Bear's fur is commonly black, although it can come in other colors such as brown and blonde.
