The Japanese Black Bear has largely black fur with a pale yellow crescent marking on its chest. In Japan it is also known as "tsukinowaguma" (ツキノワグマ)or "moon circle bear".

In Japan, the only region they have any sort of foothold is in Eastern Honshu. The bear's territory ranges from 10-15 square miles from their den but can vary with food supply and human encroachment. The bears hibternate in the mountainous regions where there is snow on the ground for most of the winter. The snow helps them keep warm by insulating their dens.

Other than the fact that they are a bit smaller, Japanese black bears appear very much like the average Asian black bear. Most Japanese black bears are nocturnal. However, this has partially to do with the location and the fact that the bears tend to avoid humans. They are also skilled climbers. They build nests in trees and on steep slopes called "enza" (センザ)in Japanese. They use these for eating, resting and sleeping in. They also den in hollow trees, under large rocks, or in the ground.


They feed mainly on plant material year round. Depending on the time of year, their diet consists of acorns, beechnuts, oak nuts, green shoots, cherries, ants and insects. The Japanese black bear is an omnivorous creature. It will eat small animals such as frogs, lizards, crabs and carrion, However, it seldom hunts animals and mainly feeds on vegetation.

The Japanese black bear became extinct on the mountainous island of Kyushu back in the 1950s and is considered extinct on the island of Shikoku. Only on Eastern Honshu are the black bear population considered to be healthy. Yet they still have to deal with human disturbance.
