How far will a black bear travel in day?

The average daily travel distance for black bears varies depending on the individual bear, the time of year, and the habitat. Generally,

black bears travel anywhere from 1 to 12 miles per day. During the spring and summer months, when food is abundant, they

may travel less, while in the fall and winter, when food is scarce, they may travel more. Males tend to have larger daily travel

ranges than females. Black bears have been known to travel up to 20 miles in a single day, but this is rare.
