Abstract:

"Often outnumbering their human neighbors, American black bears grow big and plentiful in eastern North Carolina." In particular, Northeastern North Carolina's ecology encourages black bears to blossom. The National Black Bear Festival is an annual event held in Washington County. Bear cubs are typically born from late December through early February.
