Although it may not look it, the North American black bear is actually the continent's smallest bear species. Not only that, it's also the world's most common species of bear and often encounters humans because they wander into urban and suburban areas in search of food. Bears are a prominent symbol in American history and folklore. In Navajo culture, it was believed that the black bear was the strongest of all bears, and it was often prayed too. Unlike larger bear species such as the brown bear, human encounters with black bears rarely lead to serious injury or fatalities, despite how common they are. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead–free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it. 7.4 inches long, 3 inches wide and 4.4 inches tall, this bear figurine is about as long as No. 2 pencil, and as wide as and just a touch shorter than a soda can.
