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.
Many of our perennial flowers and herbs are hardy as far north as zones 3 or 4. Cool-season vegetables, most of which tolerate or even like a little frost, will grow well in zones 7 and southward in the fall. This is roughly where we distribute transplants to your local garden center at the proper time for planting. See below to find your gardening zone. Find Your Hardiness Zone by Entering Your Zip Code.
