*** About Florida Black Bears: Florida Black Bears (Ursus americanus floridanus) are a subspecies of the American black bear, primarily found in forests, swamps, and scrub habitats across Florida. This species, which represents the largest land mammal in Florida, has shown resilience and adaptability despite past declines in population. Adult males typically weigh between 250 to 450 pounds, while females are slightly smaller. Noted for their usually shy and non-aggressive demeanor, these bears mainly subsist on a diet that includes fruits, nuts, insects, and the occasional small animal. Their habitats are often threatened by urban development and habitat fragmentation, making conservation efforts crucial. As a key species in their ecosystems, they help maintain the balance by aiding in seed dispersal and vegetation management.
