Black is Brown, and Brown is Black

According to the North American Bear Center, "Black bears come in more colors than any other North American mammal. They can be black, brown, cinnamon, blond, blue-gray, or white." Brown-coloured black bears are more common in Western provinces and states, but they clearly also exist here in Nova Scotia.
