Bears

Bears are mammals of the family Ursidae. Bears are classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivores, with the pinniped being their closest living relatives. Although there are only eight living species of bear, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern

Hemisphere. Bears are found in the continents of North America, South America,

Europe, and Asia. Common characteristics of modern bears include a large body with short and solid legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonrestrictive claws, and a short tail. While the polar bear is mostly carnivorous and the giant panda feeds

almost entirely on bamboo, the remaining six species are omnivorous, with largely varied diets including both plants and animals.

With the exceptions of courting individuals and mothers with their young, bears are typically solitary animals. They are sometimes diurnal, but are usually activeduring the night (nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular). Bears are aided by an excellent
