The Caucasian black bear, also known as the Eastern black bear, is a subspecies of the American black bear found primarily in the Caucasus Mountains. These bears typically have a thick, dark coat that can range from black to brown. They are medium-sized bears, with adults weighing between 100 to 400 pounds, depending on their habitat and food availability. Caucasian black bears are omnivorous, feeding on a varied diet that includes fruits, nuts, insects, and small mammals. They are known for their adaptability to different environments, from forests to mountainous regions. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats due to threats from habitat loss and poaching.
