This Black Bear just woke up from sleeping as it is snowing. His Mouth is wide open, you can see his teeth, and he looks to be roaring angry.He looks like he could be pretty mad and upset that somebody woke him up while he was sleeping. When they sleep in the winter like this their food intake dramatically decreases. This is because they are not expending energy mating and looking for food.

A West Virginia fisher standing nearly right in front of me in the cold winter snow. These animals are very cute and cuddly looking but don’t let this deceive you. If you look close enough you can see the fangs in the front of his mouth that are meant for tearing and ripping flesh. These are definitely a predatory animals and their favorite prey include snowshoe hare and porcupine.
