Black Bear by Rae Wynn-Grant Pdf

Black Bear, by Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant, tells the story of one of North America’s most iconic species. With engaging prose informed by years of fieldwork, Wynn-Grant explores the black bear’s cultural impact, ecological necessity, and relationship with the humans who share their habitats. Few animals have defined the North American wilderness or impacted ways of life as deeply as the black bear. They have been essential to indigenous cultures in North America, feared predators of early pioneers, and today they’re appearing in urban areas at remarkably increasing rates. Black bears have persevered through staggering changes in human development since their first encounters with humans in North America. Black Bear tracks the ways human development have affected bear habitats and populations, and how these changes have shaded human-bear interactions. Through it all, Dr. Wynn-Grant will highlight her experiences studying bears in the field and her journey as a woman of color working in conservation ecology.

Black Bears by J. David Taylor Pdf

In 1990 author, naturalist and photographer Dave Taylor set out to research and photograph black bears in North America - a quest that took him from the high arctic to the swamps of Florida, and from the East Coast to the shores of the Pacific. Of the three species native to this part of the world - the grizzly or brown bear, the polar bear, and the black bear - Taylor devotes this beautifully embellished volume exclusively to the black bear, the most numerous of North America's three bear species. Lavishly illustrated throughout with more than 100 full-color photographs, maps and charts, Black Bears introduces the reader to this shy, reclusive and largely misunderstood animal with an encyclopedic examination of the black bear's world by state, province and territory. The diet, dens, mating habits, habitat, and hibernation are examined in Taylor's lively text, as is the bear's adaptation to the encroachment of civilization into its territory. A special section of the book dealing with bears and people, offers valuable advice on camping in bear country, and what to do when encountering bears in the wilderness.

Black Bear by Stephen R. Swinburne Pdf

Three species of bear inhabit North America: the grizzly, the polar bear, and the black bear. But the American black bear is truly North America's bear, found only in North America. Black bears range from Canada to Mexico, from New England to California. There may be as many as 750,000 black bears roaming the forests and mountains of the continent. With its large population, and with more people moving into black bear territory, it's important that we understand this magnificent animal. Stephen R. Swinburne takes us to where black bears live. He joins biologists in search of bears in the Pennsylvania woods, where a mother bear is examined and her cubs tagged. He visits a "school teacher" for orphaned cubs who teaches them how to survive in the wild. Along the way, he offers his personal observations together with fascinating facts about black bears and their world. (Did you know that in the autumn, black bears consume as much as twenty thousand calories a day? That's equivalent to forty-two hamburgers!) With stunning full-color and archival photographs, this lively book shows how North America's bear behaves and survives.

Ecology and Behaviour of North American Black Bears by Roger A. Powell,John Wayne Zimmerman,David Erran Seaman Pdf

What main factors affect mammalian home range size and dynamics? To what extent do constraints on home range characteristics vary between the sexes? This book aims to address these issues by concentrating the authors' expertise and experience in studies of home ranges in general and focusing on their studies of black bears of the Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, in particular. The authors provide an overview of the black bears and methods for their study before discussing concepts of home range, developing predictive habitat quality models, addressing influences of food production on social organization and exploring the mating behaviour of male bears.
