- Habitats with enough food, water, shelter and space to support a healthy population of Florida black bears are referred to as optimal habitats.
- Habitats providing less than ideal food, water, shelter, and space requirements are called marginal habitats.
- Sometimes Florida black bears are forced out of marginal habitats into optimal habitats when natural areas are developed for humans. This can create an unstable habitat for all wildlife such as lack of food resources and land area.
