Description
An adult black bear eating blackberries in a Cades Cove meadow. I’m guessing this bear was at least 600 pounds. Bears this size eat a lot of berries. Considering that berries are their primary summertime food, they can consume up to 30,000 berries a day!
Back in 2017, it was estimated that 1,500 bears live in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park; that's around two bears per square mile!
Cades Cove is in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee.
