Black bears can range from black to white with shades of dark chocolate brown, light brown or cinnamon, and blonde in between. Almost all black bears in the eastern United States are black, but only about 50% of the black bears in the Rocky Mountains are black. Still, it's unusual for all cubs in a litter to have the same non-black coloration here in Yellowstone, so this family is quite special and I was thrilled to have such a nice opportunity with them yesterday.
