Tibetan black bear
VShe is a not very big bear, rather black, with a collar, a V-shaped white mark under his neck. That’s how we recognize him very well.
At birth, the Tibetan black bear is very small. It weighs 360 grams. Adults, males will weigh up to 150 kilos, females a little less.
Power sidehe eats fruits, berries and then of course, swarms of bees.
On the communications side, it will rather make cries, therefore vocalizations. And then he can also use his posture.

The Tibetan black bear is an excellent climber.
At the Auvergne animal park, a small sign also indicates: “stronger than Julian Alaphilippe “ Sometimes we see them at the top of trees, wondering how the tree is holding up.
The black bear is hunted for its bile
While it is a sacred animal in Japan, the Tibetan black bear is hunted in China for its bile. Studies show that the gallbladder of the Tibetan bear has virtues for Chinese medicine. It was therefore hunted a lot and unfortunately still is today. Bile is taken from a living bear until it dies. Protective measures have been put in place by NGOs in Vietnam in particular, but this is not enough to stop this barbaric practice.
