American black bear, Ursus americanus, #18820

This yearling black bear is suffering from female ticks, seen on the bear's face and ears.  The ticks are acquired in brush and deep grass.   They will often gravitate to the eyes and ears where they will latch on and become engorged with blood. Orr, Minnesota, USA, Ursus americanus, natural history stock photograph, photo id 18820
