I am not a fan of killing and stuffing wild animals. A visit to the Kittery Trading Post, Kittery, Maine and the stuffed black bear in the lobby. The American black bear (Ursus americanus) is a medium-sized bear native to North America and is the world's most common bear species. It is the continent's smallest and most widely distributed bear species. They are omnivores (they will eat anything) with their diets varying greatly depending on season and location. They typically live in largely forested areas, but do leave forests in search of food. Adult males typically weigh between 130 to 550 pounds (57 to 250 kg), while females weigh 90 to 370 pounds (41 to 170 kg). Photo taken in September 2012. My hand is more flexible today - thank you for your best wishes. Zoom works. I feel claustrophobic commenting in this tiny box, I hope that is one of the things that has not been fixed yet. Could not get on most of the day. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana
