The Social Black Bear:

What Bears Have Taught Me About Being Human

Learn about black bears from Ben Kilham at the Masonic Hall in Northwood on Tuesday, February 23, at 7:00 p.m.  (Snow date: Thursday, February 25, 7:00 p.m.)  Black bears, thought to be solitary, have a different type of social behavior that possibly parallels early human behavior. They show evidence of reciprocal altruism, food sharing, and early group formation of unrelated individuals. Bears can live for as many as forty years, which allows them long-term benefits from forming relationships with fellow cooperators.

 

Ben Kilham is a wildlife biologist based in Lyme, New Hampshire. His love of and devotion to black bears has enabled him to study their habits and interact with them for more than two decades. He and his wife Debra have accepted orphaned bear cubs into their home and enabled them to successfully return to the wild. Ben has been the focus of several news articles and documentaries, including National Geographic’s A Man Among Bears and Animal Planet’s Papa Bear. He is also co-author of the book Among the Bears: Raising Orphaned Cubs in the Wild.  This program is co-sponsored by Chesley Memorial Library and the Friends of the Northwood Libraries.
