Facts About Black Bear Photographs For Sale

By Nelda Powers


Among the available bear species in the world, the largest number consist of the American black bear. This species was once widespread in the forested country in north America before civilization set in. Today, they have been forced to retreat to areas with dense vegetation away from humans and with plenty of food for their survival. Many of the black bear photographs for sale are shot by photographers who have travelled deep into their territory to capture breathtaking images.

Though the creatures favor forested areas, they may sometimes roam to the open country in search of food. The gradual change in their distribution is largely accredited to animal and human conflict associated with the growing number of people encroaching on their habitats. Unless they feel threatened, they will rarely confront intruders on their territories.

Avoid feeding them or leaving leftovers for them to find overnight as they soon become reliant on you for their meals. Your children should not be allowed to wander alone in the woods if you live in areas where bears are commonly sighted. Should you accidentally meet with an adult bear, try to get away slowly without getting them excited. Eye contact is to be avoided as the animal may take it as a challenge.

Run away only if your safe haven is in close proximity as these creatures can easily outrun the average person. If you reside in areas with a heavy presence of wildlife, consider installing an electric fence to keep out their nuisance. Always be cautious about leaving your garbage lying about as it may attract opportunistic scavengers.

As winter nears, bears adopt a heavy feeding habit, dedicating over two thirds of their day to the search for food. This goes into the reserve of fat that they will use for survival during the deep slumber associated with winter. Females also give birth in their winter dens and have to sustain their young ones with their milk only. A lactating female is very dangerous as she can attack anything that she believes is presenting a threat to her offspring.

These animals are not social and once the cubs are grown, a mother will let them go to fend for themselves. Males live and roam alone, sometimes even preying on the young of their species. They also happen to be physically bigger, with the capacity to weigh well over three hundred kilograms.

Adult bears have little in the form of threats from other natural predators. There may be an occasional fight with grizzlies or packs of hungry wolves but they are largely undisturbed. Cubs may fall prey to coyotes and bobcats but the presence of a mother is enough to dissuade these predators. Flooding in the dens may also contribute to premature deaths of new born cubs.

During winter, black bear photographs for sale may show the animals burrowed in recessed dens. This lack of activity is similar to hibernation but is more specifically called torpor. During this period, if the weather permits it, they may leave the den and forage about for something to eat. A notable feature is the lack of urination or defecation as all their nitrogenous waste is recycled to nutrients.
