Grizzly Bear
The Ursus arctos horriblilis mostly known as the Grizzly bear is a mammal and an Omnivore. At around the height of 2 meters it is a historic type of bear. It is famous for it’s massive claw’s and it large intake of food per day averaging at 30 kilo’s. As omnivores, Grizzly bears will eat anything nutritious that they can find, gorging foods ranging from roots to sheep. Their diet adapts depending on what foods are available for the season. The Grizzly bear is one of the biggest and most dangerous bear type that there is, in total there are 8 bear types. You have the Asiatic Black Bear, the sloth bear, spectacled bear, sun bear, the American black bear, the brown bear, the polar bear, another bear close to extinction, and lastly

In North America, Grizzly bears are found in western Canada, Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and a potentially a small population in Washington. Historically, they could be found from Alaska to Mexico and from California to Ohio. They prefer to stay in riparian areas along rivers and stream. The reason they prefer to inhabit these sorts of areas is due to that a lot of their prey is found there. Also, it doesn’t have very rough conditions that can trouble and affect their way of life. The Grizzly bears average life span is a staggering 20 years. The female’s can give birth to 1 or 2 cubs a year (research progress report). Grizzly bears have really adapted to their habitat. The most substantial adaption they make is when they adapt to survive the changing seasons. An adaption they make in winter is that they intake a staggering 40 kilo of food each day to create extra body fat to keep them warm and more protected throughout the winter. The Grizzly bears are primarily nocturnal and require dense cover for shelter during the day. At night or in the evening Grizzly bears will search for food. However, the Grizzly bear also adapts a lot more to their habitat for example a Grizzly bear does not look particularly graceful, it has the
Those rats are numerous.” Lewis would continue to describe that the prairie dogs covered almost 4 acres and created little holes in the ground. The Corps Of Discovery also encountered a fearsome animal known as the grizzly bear. In another journal entry, Lewis describes that Private Willam Bratton had “shot a brown bear which immediately turned on him and pursued him a considerable distance but he had wounded it so badly that it could not overtake him.” The grizzly bear was the most feared mammal among the group, as it stood taller than a human and was resilient to gunfire.
Kermode bears are important for many reasons. The idea of the Kermode bear started with Frances Kermode of the royal British army the bear was named after him because many people thought he was very important. Sometimes these bears can help states attract tourist which helps the state raise money to save the bear’s habitats and the bears themselves from being endangered. These bears are important to people in so many different ways like the bears help hunters in hunting season, they also help give people the meat and bones they need they need to survive and to help make a profit (Local Distilleries’ Fight for Spirit Bears). The Kermode bears are also called the spirit bear because of their white ghostly look which makes them important to some
Black bears have a medium to heavy frame with large ears and powerful limbs. The black bear has a coat that can differentiate from brown, cinnamon, blond, grey-blue, and of course, black. They can adapt to their environment easily but are normally found in forested areas. It has a diet that consists of fruits, buds, berries, nut, insects, and food lest by humans. They are incredible climbers that can use their claws to extract food from the trees.
Polar bears are considered one of the cutest animals in the world and are adored by thousands of people. Not only are they adorable, but they are also going extinct because of the warming temperatures in the Arctic. But what mankind does not know is that warmer climate isn’t the only thing killing off these animals; it’s truly cannibalism. This surprising truth is revealed in a similar way in Rod Sterling's short story, “Monsters Are Due On Maple Street.” The story takes place in an ordinary neighborhood that is supposedly being attacked by aliens.
The berries that the bears snack on vanishes. This means that for bears they need to get fat and food before winter so then they will be ready to hibernate for the long winter season. In conclusion, This is why particularly in Alaska, bears need to stock up on food before winter comes because, need to stock up on food before winter comes because when winter hits food goes away, the weight they gain during summer and fall helps them
Ironically, most black bears are not black, but instead are mostly brown, blond, and sometimes reddish brown. Average adult males weight about 115 kilograms and females about 70 kilograms, thought the largest recorded black bear weighed 312 kilogams. Their diet mainly consists of grasses and berries, and acorns during the fall. Black bears consume about 20,000 calories per day, which is equivalent to a person eating 40 McDonald’s Big Mac sandwiches. A fun fact about Yosemite black bears is that their diet has drastically changed because they have become accustomed to eating human food.
I. Introduction: Black bear is the smallest of the three species of bear, and is the only bear living in the eastern United States. Bears are very calm and independent animal. As a result they are usually lives in the wild. Black bear use forest as protection and food.
Walking through the woods on a peaceful, fall day, I stumble onto a herd of cotton tails. BANG! THUD! Dinner is served. Hunting has been argued to not be the best method practiced for controlling whitetail deer populations.
As a consequence, these animals are now forced to spend more time on shore scavenging for food, often going without while awaiting new ice to form in the fall. There is also growing concern for polar bear cubs that are thought to be incapable of swimming the increasingly greater distances in open water between shrinking ice floes. As evidence, they offer the growing number of very young polar bear carcasses that they notice being washed up on shore. Many mother bears also appear to be dangerously thin and less able to fend for themselves and their young. This situation is quite noticeable among polar bears along the western shore of Hudson Bay, especially around the town of Churchill Manitoba, a location where polar bears traditionally spend the late months of fall foraging on shore awaiting the freeze-up, a freeze-up that now comes later each year.
Help with loosening the dirt when digging in the ground. The grizzlies also help with controlling populations of small animals. Pros and cons of grizzly bears. The first pro would be that they bring biodiversity among the large predators. They sometimes have a very little effect on
Bears Are Us Paul and Pete have been life-long friends who attended college together studying wildlife biology. After they graduated from college, they both took salaried positions within the U.S. Forest Service. During this time, they decided to dedicate their spare time to understanding and appreciating the protection of grizzly bears. Paul and Pete have formed a recognized partnership, by doing business under the fictitious name of “Bears Are Us”. Although they lack written documentation, the joint management of the organization involves collecting donations, conducting presentations, selling books and prints, writing articles, and actively promoting other events related to the protection and benefit of the grizzly bear.
Through remarkable structural and physiological adaptations, polar bears are the most successful organisms living under the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle. The polar bear (Ursus Martimus) is a flesh-eating
One of the main reasons polar bears are going extinct is because they aren’t getting the right amount of food they need to survive. Seals, the main food source for the polar bears, are animals that depend largely on the algae that grows on the ice of the Arctic. With the ice content slowly depleting, there isn’t enough seals to sustain the polar bear population. One of the
National Wildlife Federation is a wildlife organization founded by Ding Darling. The Wildlife Federation works to protect the ecosystem that is crucial to the native wildlife. The National Wildlife Federation took part in the passing of clean water act, clean air act, and endangered species act. In 2007 the water resources development act was successfully passed thanks to the help of the Wildlife Federation.
The red panda; a species somewhat sizeable than a domestic cat; is currently an endangered species. The red panda has a body type similar to one of a bear with fur that is thick with a rustic colour. They also have a lengthly, shaggy tail for balance and for warmth during the seasons with lower temperatures. The red panda is an omnivore. Its diet consists predominantly of bamboo, about 95%; which is very atypical for a mammal.
