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.

USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 9a. Zone 9a is located in the lowest 10 percent of the state of Louisiana. In this zone, the minimum temperatures range between 20 degrees F and 25 degrees F, though these minimums may be higher year to year.
