Information on Bears.
Bear is the name for any of several kinds of large, flesh eating animals with shaggy fur, heavy bodies and wide heads. Bears are among the best known of the world’s large wild animals. They are often seen in zoos, where their playful tricks make them favorites with the public. Several kinds of bears were once quite common in North America, Asia and Europe. They may still be seen in some of the wilder parts of these lands. In North America, especially, wild bears may be found even though many of the forests have been destroyed. Visitors to Yellowstone National Park and some of the other natural parks of the United States have brought home many tales of the amusing and sometimes dangerous actions of the half tamed bears which live there and beg for food from tourists.
The Body of a Bear.
Most bears look bigger than they are, because of their long, coarse hair and loose skin. Yet some of them are indeed huge beasts. Bears of the largest kind may grow to be more than 10 feet long and may weigh 1700 pounds.
Bears have short, powerful legs and long, heavy toenails. The nails are used for clawing and digging, or for climbing tree trunks or over jagged rocks. Bears walk flat on the soles of their feet and not on their toes as dogs and cats do. For this reason, bears do not move a gracefully as dogs or cats. Yet bears are far from clumsy. They can run very rapidly for short distances over either smooth or rocky ground. Many kinds of bears can climb trees swiftly and expertly.
Though bears are classified as flesh eating animals, or carnivores, they can eat many kinds of food. This is because their teeth are suited for both grinding and tearing. Their favorite foods are small animals of the woods, as well as fish, grubs and bird eggs. They also eat lambs and young pigs, which they steal from farms. Other foods in their diet include fruits, berries, nits, acorns and the leaves and roots of plants. Bears are fond of honey and they will rip apart beehives or the nests of wild bees to get at it. Their long fur helps to protect them from the stings of the angry bees when they rob the beehives.
