The bears that live on Pikes Peak are Black Bears and have been seen in shades of cinnamon to dark brown. They stand approximately 3 feet tall at the shoulder and eat mostly berries, nuts and leaves. Before winter hits, bears eat almost constantly consuming nearly 20,000 calories a day. They will then fall into a deep sleep during which they rely on accumulated body fat to get them through the winter. While still in the den, the sow gives birth to one to three cubs.

Unlike grizzlies, black bears skillfully climb trees to escape danger or to rest during the heat of the day. It is wise not to approach or attempt to feed a black bear; always steer clear of a mother bear with cubs.

Start searching! Can you find a bear track? Also look for tooth and claw marks high on the trunks of trees. Bears eat both plants and animals, and are called omnivores. Look at their scat. The droppings often contain the remains of a single kind of food such as berries, acorns or beetle wings.
