What do we think we know about black bears? They’re black, right? (Sometimes, but they are also brown or cinnamon or blonde). They hibernate, right? (Kind of – they undergo ‘winter lethargy’, but don’t get as cold or slow as true hibernators.) They’re carnivores, right? (Bears are actually omnivores � up to about 85% of their diet is plant material.) Yes, but they eat people, don’t they? (On average, one person per year is killed by a black bear � as opposed to an average of 30-50 people per year killed by dogs.) If you’d like to know more about the world’s most populous bear species, join Austin College’s mammologist Dr. Jessica Healy on October 12th for this informative program.
