Black Bear Diet. Black bears are in the taxonomic Order Carnivora, but their diet is omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Approximately eighty to eight-five percent of a black bearâs typical diet is plant material, while the remaining 15% is made up of animal protein. Black bears will eat almost anything, such as grubs from a bumblebee nest, bird eggs, ants, voles, grasses and berries.
Knowing temperature limitations and how to protect your bird of paradise in the face of a cold snap can save these striking plants. Bird of paradise grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 through 12.
The new version of the plant hardiness zone map includes 13 zones representing 10-degree Fahrenheit bands, further divided into 5-degree A and B bands. Zones 12 and 13, representing average low temperatures of 50-60 and 60-70 degrees, respectively, are new to the 2012 map.
