Info

A cinammon colored black bear stands at the edge of the forest looking directly into the lens of the camera. The cinammon coloration is an adaptation in black bear populations near the Rocky Mountains and areas that border the Great Plains. The lighter cinammon coloration helps these bears regulate their body temperature in open areas where the sun beats down on meadows and praries, while the more common black coloration is an adaptation for hiding in the shadows of the forest.
