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.

Season‐specific habitat restriction in Asiatic black bears, Japan
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2017ABSTRACTUnderstanding habitat selection by wildlife, particularly in the vicinity of areas dominated by humans, is often important in identifying causes of human–wildlife conflict. With recent increases in the number of Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) in areas near settlements in Japan, there have been more human–bear conflicts.

Trends in the spatial distribution of Asiatic black bear cubs
Russian Journal of Ecology, 2009Trends in adaptation to new habitats of orphaned bear cubs in the period of rearing and after release into the wild have been revealed. The pattern of their distribution in a biotope is contingent on its exploration in search for food, with the intensity and scale of this process increasing as the animals grow.

DNA extraction protocols for molecular studies of Asiatic black bears
Ursus, 2014Abstract Optimization of DNA extraction and amplification techniques increases the reliability of genetic studies used to estimate population size and assess genetic diversity, particularly for non-invasively collected samples. We evaluated the effectiveness of 4 DNA extraction procedures—the Roboscreen and Qiagen kit methods and the Organic and Chelex

FLUOXETINE THERAPY TO DECREASE STEREOTYPIC BEHAVIOR IN THE ASIATIC BLACK BEAR (URSUS THIBETANUS)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2019The present study evaluated the effects of fluoxetine on decreasing stereotypic behaviors in Asiatic black bears (ABB). Four captive ABB exhibiting stereotypic behaviors were administered fluoxetine (0.25-1 mg/ kg orally every 24 hr) for 91 days. The animals were monitored twice weekly for 213 days (April to October) using a scan sampling method ...
