North American bruin
The American black bear is a medium-sized bear native to North America, found in forests from Canada to Mexico.
Despite the name, their fur ranges from black to brown, cinnamon, or even blonde.
They are omnivorous, generally shy, and the most common bear species on the continent: We saw an American black bear raiding the campsite's garbage bins.
