Answer 1

The term that most accurately characterizes black bears is "omnivores." Omnivores are animals that eat both plant and animal matter, which includes grass, roots, berries, insects, fish, mammals, and in the case of those that wander near human habitation, even human food and garbage. Black bears have a varied diet that fits this definition.
