uring your walk through the Park, you’ll see black bears. It is the most common species of bear in Canada. An animal of great strength, it has frightening claws and teeth. Black bears are equipped with thick, shiny fur, very effective for cold weather. Their snout is light beige. Males weigh 170 kg on average and females 135 kg.<\/p>\n

The bear winter from mid-November to the end of March. They will get comfortable in a den or cave and sleep all winter. Females mature at around five years and usually give birth to cubs every two years. Naked, blind and very small at birth, the cubs are weaned in their fifth month and spend their first winter with their mother. <\/p>\n

The black bear is an omnivorous animal and plants make up 75% of its diet.<\/p>\n

The black bear’s coat varies in color from black to white, with many shades: chocolate, brown, cinnamon and blond. Southern Alaska and British Columbia are home to the Kermode bear, a subspecies with an almost white coat known as the “spirit bear”, the bluish-gray bears that occupy Glacier Bay in Alaska. All these animals belong to the American Black Bear species. <\/p>\n

A very small percentage of cinnamon bears live in Quebec, most of them being black, but they are present and beautiful! You can observe cinnamon bears at Parc Om\u00e9ga in Bear Valley, a fabulous experience! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
