Black Bears in North America

Black bears live in many different parts of North America. They are the most

common type of bear. Did you know that black bears come in many different colors? Some

are brown or even blond!

During the long, cold winter, black bears go into a deep sleep. They sleep all day

and night. These animals make their home, or den, in brush, caves, and even inside hollow

trees! If a bear is disturbed in its den, it will often move to another den.

Black bears eat meat, grass, berries, and bugs. Sometimes they will go near houses

to look for food. If you are near a place where bears live, it is important to pick up any food

or trash outside. Black bears are fun to learn about and observe, but it is important to keep a

safe distance if you see one.

What is a Game Warden?

Some people spend their days working to protect plants and animals. These men and

women are called game wardens, or wildlife officers. They help to make sure that everyone

obeys the laws to keep plants and animals safe. They also teach people how to be safe when

they are hunting and fishing.

Every day is different for a game warden. One day a game warden might make sure

people are not touching sea turtle nests at the beach. The next day he or she might give out

tickets to people who did not pick up their trash. If you like animals, nature, and being

outdoors, a job as a game warden might be for you!
