They possess a varied diet and can live in a range of habitats from dense forests to mountainous areas. Despite their name, their fur can be black, brown, or even cinnamon-colored. These bears are generally solitary creatures, with females closely nurturing their cubs for about two years. The species is known for its intelligence and is often a subject of human fascination and myth. Conservation efforts have helped stabilize some black bear populations, yet they continue to face threats from habitat loss and human encroachment.
