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.
Here in the Salt Lake valley, hot and dry summers are followed by cold and snowy winters-this can be tough on many plants. In Utah, the hardiness zone varies between 4 and 6, depending on where you live. Most gardens in Salt Lake City are in zone 5 with a minimum temperature ranging from â10 to â20 degrees Fahrenheit.
