Black Bear Watching on Vancouver Island

The black bear has short, rounded ears and claws on its feet that are an inch long. The black bear, unlike the brown or grizzly bear, does not have a significant shoulder hump. From shoulder to toe, the black bear measures around three feet tall, and from head to toe, it stands 4-6 feet tall. Males are typically significantly larger than females.
Black bears can exist in a range of habitats due to their diverse food. They can be found in coniferous and deciduous forests, as well as open alpine environments. Except along river courses where there is riparian vegetation and trees, they are rarely found on the Great Plains or other wide-open places.
They can survive almost everywhere there is food, although they are most common where there are trees. Black bears in the United States are omnivore, meaning they eat a wide variety of foods, including both plants and meat. Roots, berries, meat, fish, insects, larvae, grass, and other succulent plants are all part of their diet.
In the wild, black bears can live for up to 30 years, although most die in their early twenties. The American black bear is no longer a threatened species, and the population of the formerly listed black bears of Florida and Louisiana is on the rise.

In General, black bears usually wander in mountains, prairie, a vast portion of parklands, and foothills. You may also view bears in lower elevations near streams and rivers or at open areas around clear cuts in berry patches. They may be found on mountain hills and hardwoods, showing their adaptability to survive in higher elevations. But the best thing possible is selecting the right wildlife watching tour operator for your black bear viewing adventure on Vancouver Island since the guides know best about the best locations that bears can be spotted. Think, plan, and choose to enjoy your trip to Vancouver Island and its untouched nature.
