*** About Florida Black Bears: Florida black bears (Ursus americanus floridanus), the only bear species native to Florida, play a crucial role in their ecosystems. As omnivores, they help to control insect populations and disperse seeds, contributing to the health of their habitats. These bears reside primarily in forested wetlands and uplands throughout the state, and despite their large size, they are expert climbers and swimmers. Conservation efforts in recent decades have helped their populations recover from the brink of extinction, but they continue to face threats from habitat loss and human encroachment. Understanding and protecting these majestic animals is vital for maintaining Florida's environmental balance.:
