Black Bear Range Florida

This shapefile contains four levels of occurrence (frequent, common, occasional, and rare range) for the Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) throughout the state of Florida. Range extent and levels of occurrence were created using research, management, and public-generated location data of black bears from 2009-2018. The four levels of occurrence were estimated by 90% kernel density estimator (KDE) isopleth (range of frequent occurrence), 97.5% KDE isopleth (common), concave hull model (occasional), and the remainder of Florida (rare).
