• Oct. 18, 2006 - Websites about the Brown Bear and Black Bear

Posted in Web links for further learning

There is a healthy bear population where we live.  We have seen signs of Grizzly (Brown) Bears and Black Bears in our neighbourhood.  We've seen Black Bears: a single male and a female with three cubs.

Would you like to know more about the Brown Bear and American Black Bear?  Here are some websites that we have found very helpful in learning about these interesting mammals:

Besides recognising bears and appreciating the differences/similarities between various types of bears, it is good to know how to be safe around them.  The following personal safety websites may be useful if you live in or plan to visit Bear Country:
