American Black Bear Cub
Ursus americanus (cub)
This young bear lives in forested areas, staying close to its mother and using trees and dense cover for safety. It feeds first on milk, then gradually samples berries, insects, nuts, and other soft foods as it learns to forage. Cubs are agile climbers, often scrambling up trunks to avoid danger. A notable fact is that they are born in winter dens extremely small, blind, and helpless compared with the adult they become.
