Ursus americanus californiensis
This cinnamon colored Black Bear cub was running across a field and went into a wooded area. It briefly climbed a tree before climbing back down. The mother was not seen (which was concerning) but the cub kept looking back towards another wooded area. Black bears can have a variation of coloring depending on the subspecies from white to cinnamon to silver to black. Black bears are the only bear in California.

Thank you Brian, Daniele and Mark! Thanks for the great news Ashley and to the Ranger team for the nomination!
Congrats for 1st bear. Must have been exciting.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Fantastic series Cindy!
Wonderful series Cindy!!
