The American black bear (Ursus americanus) is a medium-sized bear native to North America. It is the continent's smallest and most widely distributed bear species.
Black bears are omnivores with their diets varying greatly depending on season and location. They typically live in largely forested areas, but do leave forests in search of food. Sometimes they become attracted to human communities because of the immediate availability of food. The American black bear is the world's most common bear species.
Black bears feature prominently in the stories of some of America's indigenous peoples. In the mythology of the Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian people of the Northwest Coast, mankind first learned to respect bears when a girl married the son of black bear Chieftain.
People living in Colorado Springs wondered why their rain water barrel was almost empty every day. They set up a couple of cameras and look what they caught on film
Something was happening to all of the rainwater in a rain barrel left outside near the woods by a house in Colorado Springs. The owners of this barrel decided to solve the water-missing mystery by setting up a few cameras before the next rainfall.

“I hope my paws don’t get too prune-y”
