What are the living habits of bears?

Most bears eat all kinds of food, including grass, twigs, moss, berries and nuts. They also go to the stream to catch frogs, crabs and fish, dig mice and eggs, prefer licking ants, stealing honey, and even attack deer and lambs or feed on carrion. But polar bears are special. They mainly eat fish and seals. Bears are not very sensitive in sight and hearing, but their sense of smell is well developed.

Bears living in cold areas in the north hibernate, while black bears in subtropical and tropical areas often don't hibernate. Bears can hibernate for 4-5 months. If you are disturbed during hibernation, you will wake up immediately and occasionally come out of the hole.

Bears are usually gentle, don't take the initiative to attack people and animals, and are willing to avoid conflicts, but when they think they have to defend themselves or their cubs, food or territory, they will also become very dangerous and terrible beasts.

Breeding mode of brown bear:

The mating season of brown bears is from May to July every year. The mother bear is pregnant for about 6-9 months and gives birth in early spring. She will give birth to 2-4 cubs in the winter cave, usually two. It takes a mother bear about a year and a half to raise her cubs. The cub is very small at birth, weighing only 300 grams. They have no hair, their eyes are closed, and they can't be opened until 30-40 days later. After half a year, they began to eat plants and small animals.

Cubs especially like to walk upright, lively and lovely, and often play and fight with each other. They will stay with their mother until they are two and a half to four and a half years old, learning all the skills they need to survive, and then they must find their own territory.

Male bears do not undertake the task of raising offspring, and sometimes even attack their cubs. The young will not mature sexually until they are 4-6 years old, and the physiological maturity is about10-1year. Brown bears living in the wild live for about 20-30 years. In captivity, the longest-lived brown bear can live to 50 years old.
