They estimate that roughly 1,500 bears live in the park.

• They may be six feet in length and up to three feet high at the shoulder.

• Bears, like humans, are omnivores. Plant materials such as berries and nuts make up approximately 85% of their diet.

• Bears have color vision and a great sense of smell. In addition, they are good tree climbers, can swim very well, and can run 30 miles per hour.

• Bears are most active during early morning and late evening hours
