Animal Facts
Formosan black bears are also known as 'moon bears' due to the crescent-shaped white patch on their chests.
Unlike other black bear subspecies, Formosan black bears do not hibernate in the winter.
The movement of black bears can appear clumsy and slow, but they can run at 25mph when they want to. They are also good swimmers and can catch fish.
Formosan black bears are good climbers and may spend up to half their time in trees. Pregnant females often make their dens in hollow trees.
