Black bears typically have a home range of 1-36 square miles, eat a diet consisting of 25% rodents and 75% plants, and give birth to litters of 1-3 cubs between January and February. They can climb, run, and swim well but rarely attack people unless the mother feels threatened by the presence of her cubs. Black bears live solitary lives outside of the mating season from May to July, spending spring, summer and fall foraging for food before resting during winter months.
