Adult black bears typically stand around 5 to 7 feet tall when on their hind legs and can weigh anywhere between 200 to 600 pounds , with males being larger than females. Features: The black bear has a distinctive humped back , which is a result of powerful muscles that enable them to dig and climb with ease.

Their strong jaws are equipped with sharp teeth , allowing them to consume various foods , including fruits , nuts , insects , and small animals.
