    Yes, I assume the American black bear is in all probability the most numerous in U.S. AZA zoos. Nevertheless the quantity really does add up if you additionally count the number of black bears in Non-Aza institutions. Thoroughly a lot of them are confined in lower-budget gutter wildlife parks and other attractions.
