Let's start with Alabama. In 2006, Alabama's governor signed a bill making the black bear the official state mammal of the Heart of Dixie. What are a male and female black bear called?

The black bear became the state mammal of Alabama after being chosen by eighth-grade students at the Turtle Point Science Center. The purpose was for the students to witness how a bill becomes a law. There are thought to be only 200 black bears in Alabama as of 2020.
