http://www.bigskycountry.net/blackbears <em><strong>Bear Photos</strong></em><br/><br/>Big Sky Country is home to the Threatened (recently downgraded from Endangered) grizzly bear and to American black bears. Every encounter (from a safe distance, of course) with a bear is a treasured treat!<br/><br/>American black bears (<em>Ursus americanus) </em>range throughout North American. "Black" bear is a misnomer, as American black bears can be found in colors ranging from black, reddish, cinnamon, brown, and even white. <br/><br/>American black bears are omnivorous and make use of a wide variety of food sources including winter kill carcasses, elk calves, rodents, grass, roots, berries, nuts, etc. <br/><br/>American black bears are typically smaller than grizzly bears, but have a proportionally larger rump (black bear big butt), proportionally taller ears, and a "Roman" profile. Black bears do not have a "genuine" shoulder hump, but some larger individuals, particularly is certain postures, can give the appearance of a shoulder hump. <br/><br/>Black bears have retractable claws which can be used for climbing trees and black bears of all ages do climb trees both to seek food and to seek safety. <br/><br/>All photos in this gallery depict wild &amp; free American black bears.<br/> <br/>If you want to see an individual photo larger, click on the thumbnail for that photo.

]]>There was once a cinnamon/red colored black bear affectionately know to Yellowstone regulars as "Big Red." Big Red ranged in the area from Calcite Springs to Phantom Lake. He was often mistaken by Park visitors for a grizzly bear due to his coloring (so many people think black bears must be black), but also because he was large enough that when his posture was right, he had the appearance of a shoulder hump. He was mellow and ignored people, even quite close.
