They are the smallest, yet most common species of bears in North America. Covered in thick black fur, they can also sometimes be brown or cinnamon in color. With round ears, a long snout and big paws, they are easily recognizable and a wonder to behold.  \nSpeaking of those big paws, did you know American  \nblack bears are incredibly strong climbers and swimmers? They make their homes mostly in forests, but can also be found in mountains and swamps across North America. Their habitats range from Alaska to Mexico, making them quite the adventurers! They are pretty solitary animals, prefering to live alone except when they have cubs.  \nNow, you might be wondering what these forest-dwelling creatures eat. American black bears are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals. Their diet includes berries, insects, fish, and small mammals, but they also love a good old-fashioned honeycomb. Interestingly, they can eat up to 20,000 calories a day in autumn to prepare for hibernation in winter.  \nInteracting with these bears can be both amazing and challenging. While they are generally shy and try to avoid humans, they can be dangerous if they feel threatened or if they're really hungry. They have an important role in the ecosystem, helping to control insect and rodent populations. So, let's remember to respect these incredible creatures and their habitats, because the world of the American black bear is a world worth protecting.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What is the smallest species of bears in North America?  \nA.
