technically north american bears are probably melanistic...at least to a degree...they grew black fur more and more in order to absorb the sunlight for heat and moreso to fade away into the thick woods ......if a black bear stands in the shadows of a forrest..........you will not see it if it does not move.....the black fur looks and blends into the shadows that well.....
also.there are albino black bears I think.I can;t remember....
I do know there are cinnamon ones that are dull to very bright orange shades......they are probably hypo-melnistics....in some regions the cinnamons make up a good portion of the population...like 20%.........there are brown ones.......there are some that have white chest or face patches....so they aren't actually melanistics I guess........
.........and they stink...........................hahahaaaa
but taste pretty good.............
