We got our first black bear here in WNY. This thing had a inches of fat on the hide and inches more on the body. Makes sense as they have to go thru winter hibernating. What I was wondering is, if bears down south hibernate or have these layers of fat to make it thru the winter. Thanks in advance.

It states "In west Texas bears do not enter a true state of hibernation during the winter. Instead, they enter brief periods of denning."

I've seen black bear year round in Eastern North Carolina. I had read that they don't hibernate in all regions as well.
