Black Bear

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

Bears are rare in the Territories themselves, but they are common in the lands surrounding them. The Scent Border keeps them from wreaking havoc on mouse life.
Bears are active from the late spring to the late fall. They hibernate for the winter.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Bears are curious, smart and always hungry. They eat anything. To a black bear, the towns and cites of the Territories are a series of delicious, gift-wrapped presents for him to unwrap and dig into at his leisure.
