Black Bear (Ursus americanus). Weighing about ½ lb at birth, black bear cubs usually arrive in Lake Tahoe area in early February.
The largest of the the Sierra carnivores, the Black Bear is found in and around the Lake Tahoe Basin. As common residents of the Tahoe National Forest, black bears primarily live in the forest and woodlands. Black bears are omnivores, which mean they will eat just about anything. In California, they eat a variety of food items often based on seasonal availability. This includes grasses, tubers, roots, seeds, nuts, grubs, ants, carrion, small mammals, young calf elk, fawn deer, and even birds and their eggs.
Many thanks for this cutie Linda!
