However, white markings vary in size and color, sometimes being small or absent. Uncommonly the coat coloris brown (gedrosianus) or blond (rare color phase in South-east Asia). Muzzle color varies from light to dark.

Some subspecies were differentiated largely by the degree of shagginess of pelts from collected specimens.

Foods often include succulent vegetation (shoots, roots, forbs and leaves) in spring, insects and a variety of tree and shrub-borne fruits in summer, and nuts (hard mast) in autumn. In some areas, mammalian ungulates (especially smallbodied species) may compose a sizeable portion of the diet; however, these bears rarely eat fish. Asiatic Black Bears regularly climb trees to obtain fruits, because most fruits in their range are tree-borne. In tropical regions fruit diversity is especially high. For example, in

) families. In temperate regions, where they must store fat for hibernation, hard mast, such as oak acorns, beechnuts, walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts, is a key fall dietary component. When feeding in hard mast trees they often break branches inward toward the trunk and pile them up in the canopy forming a platform or “nest” upon which they sit. When natural forest foods are lacking, they feed in agricultural fields (corn, oats, millet, barley, buckwheat) and fruit orchards. In plantations, when food supplies are short, they strip bark and eat cambium of conifer trees, damaging the trees.

Active diurnally most of the year, often with peak activity periods in morning and evening. More uniformly active, day and night, during the fall, when foods are clumped and abundant. Overall level of activity may vary seasonally, but is generally in the range of 50-60% over a 24hour period. In northern latitudes, where food becomes unavailable in winter, both sexes hibernate. They typically den November—April, but some remain in dens until the end of May (which is later than other species of bears). In the tropics, except for females giving birth during the winter, Asiatic Black Bears generally do not hibernate.

Most reported home ranges based on ground radio-tracking are 20-60 km” for adult females and twice as large for males. However, tracking is often done in remote, mountainous habitats, and bears sometimes wander beyond the tracking area, so true home ranges are likely larger than reported. Home ranges of 100-250 km® have been observed using GPS and satellite radio collars, which obtain locations anywhere the bear goes. Seasonal movements are common, corresponding with changing food conditions, by habitat or elevation. Home range overlap appears to be extensive, but studies of dispersal patterns and relatedness among neighboring bears have not been conducted. Females often avoid areas with clumped, preferred foods, which attract high densities of males.

Breeding generally occurs duringJune—July and birthing during November— March; however, timing of reproduction is not known for all portions of the range, especially in the tropics. The full gestation period of 6-8 months includes 4-6 months of delayed implantation. Age offirst reproduction is typically 4-5 years for both sexes. Modallitter size is two cubs (range 1-3, rarely four), but the average is less than two, produced at most every two years.

Habitat loss from logging, agriculture, human settlements, roadways, and erosion is most severe in southern portions of the range.

, with annual harvests of about 500 and 100 bears, respectively; however, illegalkills and nuisance kills exceed hunting kills by a factor of five or more in both countries. Bear depredations on crops and apiaries, and attacks on people, have increased throughout the range, and have led to more direct killing, using guns, poisons, and bombs that explode when bitten. Poaching also appears to be increasing, spurred by commercial demands for meat,skins, paws, and gall bladders. The demand for these products has fueled a growing network of international trade throughout South-east Asia, and has encouraged many subsistence hunters to turn to commercial hunting. Paws are sold as an expensive delicacy (made into a soup), especially in

, where bile is drained from over 12,000 Asiatic Black Bears and sold commercially. This technique was originally developed in
<collectingCountry id="F3237612F66DC76091FB79DBFF6CF94D" name="North Korea" pageId="6" pageNumber="491">North Korea</collectingCountry>

. Some officials assert that the increased production of bile from farming reduces poaching of wild bears; conversely, the cheaper and more available farmed bile also may encourage more use, and thus ultimately more demand for wild bile, which is considered more potent. Farmed bile is now produced in such surplus that it is incorporated into many non-traditional Chinese medicine products, such as shampoos, lotions, cosmetics, sports drinks, and toothpaste. Prompted by animal welfare-related concerns, several hundred bears have been removed from farms and taken to rescue facilities run by non-governmental organizations. However, the large total number of captive, non-releasable bears and the opinion of government officials that farming aids in the conservation of wild bears, make the situation rather intractable.
