Abstract:
In this article the author discusses their work as black bear and furbearer biologist. A furbearer is any mammal that is known for fur harvesting and in North Carolina this includes 18 different wildlife species. These species include both aquatic and terrestrial animals which examples of are bobcats, raccoons, otters, beavers, nine-banded armadillo, and the eastern spotted skunk. The author states that his line of work came bring them to the coastal plains one week and the mountains the next. The relationship between the biologist and local hunters and trappers is very important because it is the locals that provide information, data, samples, and help by submitting surveys. This career choice was not easy for the author in the beginning because they did not have many female role models in the field and people were skeptical that a woman could work in their line of profession. Lastly, the author states that the profession has changed a lot of the past 20 years and this has led to more respect for women working in this field.

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and N.C. State University are tracking black bear movement in and around Asheville. This study is groundbreaking because it studies the habits of urban bears. Biologists have set up traps throughout Asheville and has collect3ed data on 153 different bears over the past three years by outfitting them with GPS radio collars, tattooing the bears, and attaching ear tags. The study will help determine if Asheville lies along a dispersal corridor for bears, as well as a source or sink population bears.

Abstract:
The black bear, the smallest of the American bears, seldom attains over five feet in length or over 500 pounds in weight. Encroaching civilization has greatly reduced the bear population in this country since the first English settlers arrived. In North Carolina the black bear population is around 5,000. North Carolina has placed the bears on the list of protected game animals to keep them from becoming extinct in the state. Amundson discusses the bear's coloration, behavior, breeding habits, food habits, enemies, management, and hunting.
