Cinnamon Bear

Ursus americanus cinnamomum

Classification

Family
Ursidae

The cinnamon bear (Ursus americanus cinnamomum) is both a highly variable color morph and a subspecies of the American black bear, native to the North America. As a subspecies, it therefore most likely exists alongside the mostly black-colored eastern American black bear present in those regions, and breeds with it. Although there are also small populations located in the north east foothills and mountains of California, above 3,000 ft (910 m) elevation.
