Wild Guizhou: Answers to Everything | Eating for 20 Hours a Day Every Day for One Month - What Was It For?
The black bear is a typical forest animal in the wild forests that have not been destroyed. There are many birds and animals in those forests, and there are also many strange animals. Black bears are one of them.
Brown bears and black bears exist in the north, and polar bears exist in the Arctic. However, in southern China, we mainly see black bears, which are large animals belonging to the bear family and genus, with a weight of about 150 kilograms. Black bears are divided into Asian black bears and American black bears, and ours are Asian black bears.
Black bears have a varied diet, eating plants, leaves, buds, fruits, seeds, insects, eggs and small animals, mainly plant-based food. They also dig up ant nests and beehives to eat honey and larvae. They generally don't attack people unless threatened or in a rage. They first use their palms, then press with their bodies, and also bite with their mouths. So, black bears are not clumsy as you imagine, but full of great strength.
There were black bear attacks in Lu Gong Shan, such as in Gui Zhou, but luckily, no one was bitten to death. Because it is a protection zone and no one hunts black bears, it just adds a bit of fear. Some people also found black bear cubs and brought them back, which made the bears wander around the village for many days. This year, another bear den was found, with two cubs inside. This time, no one took the cubs away, but they strengthened the protection in the area and installed many infrared cameras.
Black bear footprints were found
Once, when I was conducting a survey in Shiwu, I was originally going to look for tigers, but I accidentally encountered a black bear. It was less than 50 meters away from me, and I was on the ground, and it was on the tree. It was terrified, and I was also scared. I knew I couldn't catch it, so I pretended not to see it, remained silent, and observed it. Finally, it slowly got down from the tree and ran away. Now, I still feel a little apprehensive. If it had been angered, a slap would probably kill me.
In 2014, July, a black bear was photographed in Shiwu village
In Lu Gong Shan or Shiwu, black bears are often found together with their cubs, which shows family care. It's scary to see a black bear, let alone a family of black bears.
