Yes and that said, the black bear in OP’s video is massive for a black bear. The ones I’ve seen have been way smaller mostly. Coming back from fishing in Ontario last year there was a black bear the size of a smart car just sat in the road. They can be big, probably if they’ve eaten lots of Americans.
