About Black Bear

VA Linux & the AHPCC have teamed up. We are developing a Linux Cluster dedicated to computational research.

Black Bear was named in honor of Smokey the Bear, probably the most famous bear in the history of the United States. It was a New Mexico black bear cub found alive in a tree after a massive forest fire in the Lincoln National Forest near Capitan, NM. In 1950, the U.S. Forest Service and the Advertising Council utilized Smokey as the symbol for fire prevention campaigns conducted all over the  country. Smokey received much notoriety, lived to a ripe old age, and was buried at Smokey Bear State Park in Capitan.

The Black Bear (Oso Negro) is common in wooded areas throughout New Mexico, and the bear's head has been the insignia of the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. The Black Bear is a protected game animal and may only be hunted by license in the proper season.

State legislature made the Black Bear the official animal on February 8, 1963. For more information: http://www.state.nm.us/state/FastFacts
