Apr 30, 2026 Episode 8

Most famous resident of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park? The Black Bear. In this episode, we learn all about black bears. Find out how big they are, how fast they are, how SMART they are and... what they like to eat! There's lots of bear eating in this show, because hyperphagia is what bears are known for and comes before hibernation! Or do bears actually hibernate? You'll find out what they actually do and how those cute little cubs are born in the middle of winter.

🎒Scout mission included! Find out our fun mission thats great for trips or the backyard with your family.
