Basic Facts About Black Bears Range. The American black bear is distributed throughout North America, from Canada to Mexico and in at least 40 states in the U.S. They historically occupied nearly all of the forested regions of North America, but in the U.S. they are now restricted to the forested areas less densely occupied by humans.n the northern areas, they can be found in the tundra, and they will sometimes forage in fields or meadows. Black bears tend to be solitary animals, with the exception of mothers and cubs. The bears usually forage alone, but will tolerate each other and forage in groups if there is an abundance of food in one area.

Meet the toughest animal on the planet: The water bear that can survive being frozen or boiled, float around in space and live for 200 years (shame it isn't much to look at) Molting Water Bear or Tardigrade with an egg mass. Water Bear's can surivive 5,700 grays of radiation, when 10-20 grays would kill humans and most other animals. This Tardigrade or Water Bear is infested by fungi. The animals can also live for a decade without water and even survive in space.
