What is the weight of black bear?


Between 350-500 lbs
Most wild male black bears weigh between 125 and 500 pounds, while females generally weigh between 90 and 300 pounds.
Their weight depends upon their age, the season of the year, and how much food is available.
The heaviest wild male black bear known weighed 880 pounds
and the heaviest known female weighed 520 pounds. Black bears in captivity may exceed these records.
The world record weight for an American black bear is 880 pounds.
This was the recorded weight of a 10.75 year-old male bear shot in North Carolina in November 1998.
A black bear was hit and killed by a car near Winnipeg Canada, in 2001.
The official recorded weight was 856.5 pounds, but it is estimated that
the live weight of this large male was more than 886 pounds.
The driver was not injured and there appeared to be little damage to the Mazda.
An 805-pound male American black bear was shot in Manitoba Canada, and in Pennsylvania males fairly consistently reach the record weight of 800+ pounds.
Dear who ever, how much dose an average black bear weigh
a black bear weighs approximately 129.4kg to 159.6kg.
