Some raccoons hide in ground burrows during cold spells, but they do not hibernate. The raccoon is easily identified by its black mask and ringed tail. Black Bear Bears feed on small mammals, fish and vegetation. Though classed as a carnivore, much of a black bear's diet consists of vegetation, including twigs, leaves, nuts, roots and fruits. In spring, the bear peels bark off trees to catch insects.
Black bears are good fishers, often wading into rivers or lakes to catch fish with their jaws.
Since salmon are abundant when they return to rivers to spawn, bears can often be found hanging around the river's edge looking for an easy meal. Bears live in wooded areas. In the fall, after putting on a good supply of fat, they hibernate in a sheltered place such as a cave, crevice or hollow tree, or beside a fallen log. Owl Owls are chiefly nocturnal birds of prey and are carnivores. They feed on rodents such as mice and rabbits, as well as birds, reptiles, fish and large insects.
