Did you know that the American black bear is the smallest of the three bear species found in North America, and are found only in North America. Black bears have short, non-retractable claws that give them an excellent tree-climbing ability. They are usually 2 to 3 feet tall at the shoulders, 4 to 7 feet long from the nose to the tip of their tail; they weigh an average of 150 to 300 pounds but can grow to over 500 pounds!!

How did the "teddy bear" become the Teddy Bear? Well..... On a hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902, President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that was tied to a tree to ensure an easy target for the president. President Roosevelt immediately ordered the bear released and set free. As a result, political cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman created this cartoon. When toy makers got wind of this, the “Teddy Bear” was born.
