North American Bear Center

Did you know that the full moon in January is often referred to as the "bear moon"? Bear cubs are generally born in January. For this kind of information and more, visit the North American Bear Center located in Ely, MN.

The North American Bear Center is the only black bear and wildlife educational facility of its kind. Dedicated to replacing old myths with facts, it lets people learn from the bears themselves about bear behavior, ecology, and their relations with humans.
