The black bear (Ursus americanus) is the smallest of the three bear species native to North America, but it is the largest mammal in Arkansas. Once so numerous that the state was known as the Bear State, these bears were almost extinct by the 1920s. A successful re-population program was begun in 1949, and an estimated 3,500 black bears inhabit twenty-first-century Arkansas.
