Black Bear Keychain M033KC

The Black Bear, often simply called the “Blackie,” is an iconic North American mammal known for its strength and adaptability. This species, Ursus americanus, is widely distributed throughout forests and woodlands of North America. Black Bears are also affectionately known as “Bruins,” a nod to their scientific name. These bears exhibit a wide range of coat colors, including black, brown, cinnamon, and even a rare bluish hue. Despite their name, not all Black Bears are black. They share a family connection with other bear species like the Grizzly Bear and the Polar Bear. Known for their resourcefulness and intelligence, Black Bears have a versatile diet that includes berries, nuts, fish, and small mammals. They are skilled climbers and swimmers, adapting to various habitats. Black Bears are solitary animals for much of the year but can be seen in family groups during mating and rearing seasons. While they are typically shy and avoid humans, encounters can occur in areas where food is plentiful. These magnificent creatures hold a special place in North American wildlife, embodying both the beauty and the wildness of the continent’s natural landscapes.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.
