Good lord, what an old bear. I would never have guessed that one could live so long. What is the potential lifespan of Black bear?

They say around 30 in the wild and a little older in captivity.

I was told that "the guy that sent those out did so on his own and he isn't here anymore" by a F&G employee. But they do keep track and you can call to find out the age.

Iceman, their is a guy in PA that does skull work said he brought in a Black Bear skull that was aged at 30+ years old.  Looked like it had been fighting in boxing matches it's entire life.
