i was reading about black bears on the internet, and learned that in general, black bears can live 32 years in the wild, BUT... the average life of a black bear in Yosemite 18 yrs (due to car accidents, and having to be put down for aggression towards human food). that's a real shame!
also, black bears are not classified as true hibernators.. they feed mostly at night.... Manzanita berries & acorns are some favorites in Yosemite.
