👉 Xylanthrax, also known as "the black bear," is a disease that affects the skin and respiratory system of bears. It's caused by a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus, which can be transmitted between bears through contact with infected skin or saliva. Symptoms include redness, swelling, itching, and difficulty breathing. Xylanthrax is not fatal but can cause long-term health complications for bears and other animals that come into contact with the disease.
