*** About Florida Black Bear: Florida Black Bears, scientifically known as Ursus americanus floridanus, are a subspecies of the American black bear residing primarily in the forests and swamps of Florida. These bears have adapted well to the subtropical environment, ranging widely to forage for fruits, nuts, insects, and occasionally small animals. Adult males typically weigh between 250 to 450 pounds, while females are smaller, generally weighing up to 250 pounds. As solitary creatures, they are most active during the dusk and dawn, though cubs stay with their mothers for about 1.5 to 2 years to learn survival skills. Conservation efforts have been pivotal in managing their populations within Florida, focusing on habitat management and human-bear conflict mitigation.:
