American Black Bear
Ursus americanus
ID Notes 4
The American Black Bear, Ursus americanus, is the only bear species present in New York. Bears are common in the southern portions of WNY, particularly close to the Pennsylvania border. Bears are rare in Erie and Niagara Counties, but individuals are seen occasionally in Buffalo suburbs and transient bears are a possibility in any area of the state. Black bears are easily identified by their large size. Despite their name, black bears can range in color from black to a rusty brown color (called a cinnamon phase) or even blonde.
