The Formosan Black Bear is a subspecies of the Asian black bear, native to the mountainous regions of Taiwan. It is characterized by its black fur, a distinctive white V-shaped marking on its chest, and a stocky build. These bears typically weigh between 100 to 200 pounds and can grow up to 5 feet in length. Formosan Black Bears are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, nuts, insects, and small animals. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds. Unfortunately, they are classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and poaching, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
