Black Bear presentation

Today we went to a Florida Black Bear presentation in Daytona. The kids got to look and touch a black bear skin that was killed by a car. Some fun facts we didn’t know about bears: 

All bears are born beginning of February 

Fall is the most active time for bears and the best chance you would see one

Female bears are more timid and males are more bold

You can tell how old a bear is my cracking open a tooth and see how many rings it has

Florida bears still hibernate, but not like bears up north where it’s colder

Females only have their cubs while hibernating 

Cubs will stay with their mom for 1.5 years

Momma bears usually only give birth to two cubs

After the presentation we stopped at the Daytona Library (which as an awesome kids area!) and played for a bit. Then went home and completed the bear workbook we got from the presentation. I thought the whole thing was so interesting!
