Fuzzy Black Bear Trudging to the Right

A large bear is drawn in side view, walking toward the right with its head turned slightly forward. The outline has jagged, feathery edges along the back, belly and legs that show off its thick fur, and a few short strokes inside the body mark where the coat clumps together. The face is simple and calm, with small round eyes, rounded ears, a long snout and a dark rounded nose. You can see claws on the front and back paws, and three legs are planted on the ground. There is no background, so kids can focus on the animal itself. Try coloring it as a black bear with dark brown and black crayons, then leave the muzzle a lighter tan. It is a handy free printable for a forest animal unit, and children can talk about why bears have such thick coats.
