Description
"Lazy Black Bear" by Patti Deters. This adult black bear (Ursus americanus) has climbed a tree trunk and is relaxing while looking directly at the camera. These mammals have short claws that are very sharp which make it easy for them to climb trees. The fur color of a black bear can actually be dark red, brown, cinnamon, light tan, as well as very dark brown or black. This particular animal as photographed at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary near the town of Orr, Minnesota - a fantastic wildlife sanctuary, and education center.
