Found in the forests of North America, the black bear is one of the continent's most iconic wild mammals. Smaller than the grizzly bear, it is recognizable by its stocky silhouette, dark fur, and elongated, often lighter-colored snout.
An opportunistic omnivore, it feeds on berries, roots, insects, but also fish and small animals. Surprisingly, despite its massive appearance, the black bear is an excellent climber and does not hesitate to scale trees to feed or escape danger. In autumn, it accumulates significant fat reserves before entering hibernation, a period during which its metabolism slows considerably.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the black bear: detailed fur, robust posture and expressive head. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent stories in the heart of North American forests or to raise children's awareness of the diversity of wildlife.
