As you watch Lucky eat the peanuts, what do you notice? If you said he's spitting out the shells, you're right on track. American black bears, like all bears, have a diastema. The diastema is located on the bottom jaw and is a gap on the tooth line created by the lack of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd premolars. By using his long tongue coated in a specially sticky saliva, Lucky is able to grab the peanut, slide it back to his diastema, and crunch down; pushing out the shell and just eating the nut. Here in

Watch as our Ambassador Bear, Lucky, enjoys a bearsicle on a hot summer day. A bearsicle is a frozen hunk of water, juice, nuts, and fruits. This acts as an enrichment and helps to keep our bears cool on hot days. Captured by Sharon, our head bearkeeper. | North American Bear Center

What is a mesopredator? A mesopredator (pronounced: may-so-predator) is a medium-sized predator located in the middle of a given food chain. A fisher (Pekania pennanti) or American marten (Martes americana) would be perfect examples of mesopredators. While they are quite ravenous hunters themselves, killing rodents, birds, rabbits and more; they still have many other predators of their own. Take a look at video below that shows both species on our nature trails attracted to a small pile of fish

In this video, you can see ambassador bear Holly, climbing up to get some food off a trolly feeder. American black bears are terrific climbers and it's all thanks to those claws. More info below about bear claws! American black bear claws are specially designed to make certain tasks easier for them in wild. Black bears do a lot of digging; whether its to get food items or to make a den, their claw's curvature is similar to a shovel. This makes moving earth a bit easier for them. This curvature i

Our 3 ambassador bears were recently given a chance to try dragonfruit for the first time! 馃┓ While it was a 'no' from all 3, introducing a new food item can be an enriching sensory experience wether they eat it or not. As observed, all 3 black bears do a lot of sniffing of the dragonfruit slice- this is a new smell for the bears. If the bears had consumed the fruit, it would have been further enriching for their sense of taste. Just because our 3 black bears didn't want to try dragonfruit doesn

We wanted to update all our supporters about the state of our woodlands and nature trail expansion. We are working hard to make sure our woodlands are safe for staff, guests, and of course the bears. We do this by keeping hazardous fuels for wildfires as low as possible. We also plan on expanding our nature trails in the future! Come check us out this spring! | North American Bear Center
