On the first Saturday in June since 2018, the U.S. celebrates National Black Bear Day, commemorating North America's most common bear.
NC Black Bear Festival founded National Black Bear Day the first Saturday in June to celebrate America’s black bear while educating people about this magnificent mammal and dispelling many of the myths.
Black bears are smaller than brown bears, often called grizzlies. Black bear cubs weigh less than one pound at birth. They gain 20 to 30 pounds in three months. Excellent swimmers, black bears can paddle at least a mile and a half in freshwater.
Bears are certainly big and fluffy, but there’s a lot more than meets the eye! A polar bear’s coat is made up of two unique layers: The shorter coat provides insulation from weather, while the longer coat prevents water from reaching the short coat layer and skin. Each layer serves a unique purpose and allows bears to thrive in frigid conditions.
