At one time, the Louisiana Black Bear was the king of the bayou with a population of more than 80,000. These things were the largest mammals in the state and the top of the food chain. At one time, the population was down to an estimated 80 bears and they were listed as an Endanger Species from 1992-2016. Much like the American Buffalo, these things were hunted to near extinction and most of the places they called home were destroyed. However, according to the latest stats, the population is up to roughly 500-750 bears and climbing. In fact, one of the rare beauties was spotted in Bossier a few years ago hanging in a tree.
