| | Friends of Saguaro National Park - About Us: About Saguaro National Park: Black Bear (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Black bears don’t see well and rely on keen senses of smell and hearing to forage for berries, nuts, grass, bugs, small rodents, baby birds and eggs, frogs, fish, carrion, and just about anything edible it discovers. |
 | | A bear trail is extremely distinctive: The animal places its feet in its own previous footprints as it walks from place to place. |
 | | Female fl bears (called sows; males are boars) don’t breed until after their third year, and come in season once annually, in summer. |
