GET TO KNOW

Black Bears
THE ONLY BEAR SPECIES FOUND
IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES.
Black bears were once restricted to remote
areas and reached very low population
levels in the mid-1900s. Today, black bears
are found approximately 60% of the total
land area of North Carolina, and yes here in
Rutherford County.

As habitat is developed and human
populations increase, it is ultimately human
attitudes toward bears that will determine
whether bears will continue to exist in the
state. Unfortunately, bears are viewed either
as dangerous animals or cuddly pets. It
is best to avoid these extreme views and
instead show a healthy respect for this
magnificent forest animals. Please do not try
to feed them, pet them, or get close enough
for a selfie.
Never approach a bear. If you know a
bear is in an area find another route. If you
encountered a bear, remain calm, do not
make eye contact and DO NOT RUN from it.
Do not climb a Tree.

What do I eat?

Black bear diets typically consist of acorns, berries,
corn, fish, frogs, fruits, grasses, grubs, honey,
insects, but they also love your trash! Please make
sure you safely secure your trash - do not leave
any open food in your car or picnic area.
