Spatial distribution of the threatened Asiatic black bear in northern Pakistan
Ursus, 2021The Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) is globally listed as “Vulnerable.” Here, we documented its current distribution and the human–bear conflict in Machiara National Park (MNP, northern Pakistan) from 2009 to 2013. Our observations indicated that this bear occurs in all areas of MNP, especially at elevations between 1,600 and 3,300 m above sea ...

Comparative morphology of the muscles of mastication in the giant panda and the Asiatic black bear
Annals of Anatomy, 2003The morphological differences in the muscles of mastication between the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) were sought to confirm the adaptational strategy of these muscles in the giant panda. We measured some skull characteristics and weighed the muscles of mastication, and macroscopically observed the ...

Maxillary Ameloblastoma in an Asiatic Black Bear ( Ursus thibetanus )
Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, 2023An approximately 30-year-old intact female Asiatic black bear ( Ursus thibetanus) was presented for annual examination and a history of ptyalism. A large 9.5 cm × 5 cm × 5 cm, firm, round mass was identified attached to the hard palate on physical examination. A computed tomography scan was performed, and the heterogeneous, mineral-attenuating mass was

Effects of a highway on the genetic diversity of Asiatic black bears
Ursus, 2020Bears are globally threatened by habitat fragmentation, particularly due to roads, which can act as dispersal barriers. We used noninvasive hair sampling to study the genetic diversity of Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) in the Dong Phayayen–Khao Yai forest complex, Thailand, during 2012–2015.

Body mass and physical changes of reintroduced Asiatic black bears
European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2021The information on animal weight is often an essential component of wildlife management and research. However, it may be difficult to obtain direct scale weights from the free-ranging large animals when equipment needed to weigh the animals are inadequate or unavailable. In these cases, body weight can be estimated by morphometric equation.

Selenarctos thibetanus (Asiatic black bear)
1967Secondary constrictions are present in one or more pairs of acrocentrics, similar to those seen in the American black bear. The male animal’s metaphase was kindly supplied by Dr. Rosemary E. Newnham (London, England). Specimens from the female were obtained at Antwerp Zoo (Belgium) through the courtesy of Dr. Agathe Gijzen.

Sexual behavior and ethogram of the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus)
Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 2020Abstract Understanding and knowledge regarding basic sexual behavior constitute a logical starting point for captive breeding of the endangered Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus, ABB) in the Republic of Korea. This study was therefore undertaken to create an ethogram for the sexual behaviors of ABB and to describe the time budget of the relevant ...

Food caching by bears: A literature review and new observations for Asiatic and American black bears
Ursus, 2021Food caching is a common behavior for many mammals, but less is known about the prevalence and importance of food caching for some species. Here we report the first documented caching events by Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus, n = 5) in Japan and 3 additional caching events by American black bears (U. americanus) in California, USA.
