The black bear is an endangered species in Ohio because people are hunting them. Bears can be different colors and bers can weigh from 150-700 pounds. Bears eat grass, forbs, berried, mast from oak, hickory and beech trees, carrion and insects as their typical foods.

The bear's habitat is in woodlands or forests. We can protect bears by not hunting them and making sure they have woodlands or forests to live in.
