The American black bear is one of the eight bear species in the world. It is the smallest North American bear and the most common bear species on the planet. In 1969, Dr. Michael Pelton of the University of Tennessee initiated a long-term study of the population in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. One aspect of the study was to develop a model that could be used to predict a bear’s weight (since it is not practical to weigh bears in the field). The length of the bear was thought to be related to the weight. Our data represent the Length (in centimeters) and Weight (in kilograms) of 12 American black bears.

Just 4 and 5 The Appalachian Bear Center (ABC) is a not-for-profit organization located near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. ABC’s programs include the rehabilitation of orphaned and injured black bears, as well as research and education about Appalachian black bears. ABC provides the most natural environment possible for rehabilitating black bears before their release back into the wild. Katie Settlage performed a study to learn more about the Appalachian black bear population in the Great Smoky Mountains National...
