 Originally, the Black Bear's habitat was throughout the wooded areas of North America. In the 1500's, they were estimated at about two million. The Black Bear had not been eliminated to the extent of the grizzly bear and is still found in a majority of the states, but has been almost eliminated from vast regions of the eastern, southeastern and central United States, and now less than 200,000 are estimated to exist. At present, much of the range of the Black Bears is shared with the Grizzly in parts of the northern Rockies, western Canada and Alaska.  It is a typically a woodland animal and prefers forests with abundant undergrowth.
