Team 9 American black bears are one of the most dangerous animals. Black bears are very aggressive but try to avoid humans at any cost. Black bears are omnivores which means they eat both meat and fruit and grass. They have only ten percent of meat in their diet and the other 90 percent they eat vegetables but over the winter they lose 20 percent of their fat. In every diffrent season the black bear weighs more than it does last year. What is weird about the black bear is that it's front feet are diffrent from its back feet because the black bear uses its front feet more than it does it's back feet. What is very interesting about the black bears feet is that all their claws are all same size from front to back. Black bears are very dexterous which means that they are very smart. Black bears are so smart that they can unscrew jars and unlock door latches. What is very interesting about the black bears feet is that all their claws are all almost the same size but the black bears front claws are just a little bigger and more curved than the back claws.
