Safari Ltd. Black Bear Toy

You might not believe it, but the North American black bear is the smallest bear species on the continent. It's also the most common bear species globally. These bears often wander into urban and suburban areas looking for food, so they frequently encounter humans. Bears hold a significant place in American history and folklore. In Navajo culture, the black bear was seen as the strongest of all bears and was often prayed to. Unlike larger bears like the brown bear, human - black bear encounters rarely lead to serious harm. Only 10% of such encounters result in injury, usually when a female black bear is protecting her cubs. The scientific name of this bear is Ursus Americanus. This toy figurine has a shadowy black coat and a sandy - brown nose, perfectly capturing the look of the North American black bear. Once matured, black bears have no consistent predators, which is why it has that slow and casual strut. Measuring 7.4 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 4.4 inches tall, it's about as long as a No. 2 pencil and as wide as a soda can but just a bit shorter. This black bear toy is part of the Wild Wildlife collection, and all our products are non - toxic and BPA - free.
