Black Bear Vs. Trail Camera

At the start of this video, it is quite literally impossible to be able to tell what type of bear this is on the camera. Because he has already rushed in with his anger to get this trail camera down. However, by the end of the video clip, the videographer had posted an image of the enormous black bear that had been the perpetrator. 

For whatever reason, this large black bear was not happy with this trail camera. Perhaps he thought it was a threat, or just maybe he assumed it was food that he could eat. Nonetheless, he took offense to it and yoinked the trail camera straight down!

How Many Black Bears Are There?

The North American Black Bear is centralized in North America. There are approximately 800,000 black bears left. Their conservation status is considered to be of least concern. And out of all the locations in North America, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game shares that the majority of that population lives in Alaska. There are approximately 100,000 that are in just that one state alone.
