212                   	<b><u>Bears</u></b>, like other carnivores, can trace their pedigree back to the miacids, 
213                   	small, snouted, weasel-like animals that lived 50 million years ago.
214                   	Some 38 million years ago bears began to diverge down their own evolutionary path. 
215                   	<br /><br />
216                   	The first clearly bear-like animal was Amphicynodon, 
217                   	while  the first true bear was Ursavus (both represented in the form of skulls, the only evidence available). 
218                   	The modern genus Ursus appeared between five and ten million years ago.
219                   		<br /><br />

221                    <br />
222                    The ursids are the heavyweights of the land carnivores and generally omnivores 
223                    (omnivores = an animal that eats both vegetable and animal food to survive) , with a preference for 
224                    vegetable food. After a period of almost exclusively eating meat, they became omnivores for reasons that 
225                    are yet to be explained.  <br /><br />
226                    The giant panda departed the furthest from a strictly carnivorous diet, and until recently 
227                    they were thought to be strict vegetarians.

243                   The polar bear, with a very limited  choice of food in the Arctic, 
244                   became largely carnivorous and developed into an expert swimmer and stalker in order to hunt 
245                   its primary food source, seals. 
246                   <br /><br />    
247                    Most bears, however, maintained the talents of some of the early 
248                   miacids for tree-climbing. 
249The bear may stand over 10 feet tall on its hind legs and weights more than 680 kilogram 
250                    	(for example the Alaskan Kodiak bear or Arctic polar bear). 
251<br /><br />
252                    	The body weight varies between 25 and 800 kilograms depending on the family,  
253                    	and the males are generally heavier than the females. They tend to be long-furred, 
254                    	with most species colored,  mainly brown or black. 
255                    	Their usually elongated lip accommodates 40 or 42 teeth depending upon species. 
256                    	<br /><br />
257                    	Exceptions are the large Pandas with their remarkable black-and-white skin design,  
258                    	and also the white polar bear. Bears are powerfully-built creatures with small eyes and ears, 
259                    	large claws and a slow ambling gait that can quickly shift to surprising bursts of speed. 
260                    	<br /><br />
261                    	Bears can, 
262                    	if necessary, maintain speeds of up to 50 km/hr. They tend to be good climbers (particularly 
263                    	the Malaysian bear) and are also good swimmers.  
264                    	Some species hibernate during much of the winter season.
265                    </p>
266                		<p><b><u>Bears</u></b> possess a natural curiosity which, when combined 
267                			with a highly developed sense of smell, helps them to locate potential food sources and natural prey. 
268                			 Their sense of smell is particularly acute, at least 100 times more sensitive as that of man
269                			 <br /><br />
270                		  They are relatively intelligent, resourceful animals with large, well-developed brains and they are 
271                		  carnivorous predators, although many species are omnivorous, in that they also eat vegetation.  
272                		  <br /> <br />    
273                		  Bears have agility, coupled with speed and strength, to overcome their prey once it has been detected,
274                		   as well as jaws, teeth and claws capable of gripping and tearing flesh. Since these animals do not need 
275                		   to chew large quantities of vegetable matter for their nourishment, their rear molars are not well developed.
276<br /><br />
277                			Their simple stomachs are designed to handle the easily digested, energy rich flesh of other animals. 
278                			Some of the bear's diet is composed of carrion, but they also hunt small animals such as mice, 
279                			take birds' eggs and also eat insects.  Many of the omnivorous species of bear also eat grasses, 
280                			roots, berries and nuts and will ignore angry bees to get at a honeycomb, one of their favorite treats.

291Thermoregulation is a serious problem for very young animals, and bears are born in a highly altricial state, 
292meaning that they are naked, blind and helpless and totally dependent on their parents in the same way that humans are. 
293 <br /><br />
294Their small size and lack of fur mean that they are immediately subject to rapid cooling,  and  they are  also wet from the 
295birth membranes, all of which can be problematic because they have no insulating layers of fatty tissue.  
296However, their chances of survival have been increased significantly by the mother giving birth in a warm den, 
297where the temperature is higher than that of the exterior environment. 
298<br /><br />
299Nevertheless, it is still too cold for the young to survive without help. 
300The female cleans and dries the infant and then huddles it close to her own body. The baby bear stays in close 
301contact with its mother for a considerable period of time, until it is more able to cope with the cold. 
302Although bears are usually described as being born naked, they do have a light covering of hair which will act as effective, 
303warm boundary layer next to the skin. Despite the actions of the mother, infants may still be in serious danger of freezing. 
304 <br /><br />
305However, young mammals are not totally defenseless in this respect since they are usually supplied 
306with areas of a special type of fatty deposit known as brown adipose tissue (BAT) that is purely thermogenic in function. </p>
307<p><H2><u>Bears playing (play behavior)</u></H2><br />
308Play is an important behavior for many mammals in which the young have an extended period of parental supervision. 
309It is unsurprising, therefore, to find that many of the Carnivora have extensive play expressions. Three types of bears 
310play are recognized: 
311	<ol>
312		<li>Solitary</li>
313		<li>Social with a conspecific</li>
314		<li>Social with a member of another species</li>
315		</ol>
316The play of solitary bears usually involves the use of an inanimate object or parts of the animal's own body. 
317Solitary play is much more common in social contexts between litter mates, mothers and their offspring, and also 
318among related young animals which are no longer travelling with their mothers. 
319                		    <br />
320                		    <img src="images/grizzlybear.gif" width="275" height="195">
321                		     <br />	
322Bears may be seen chasing around for no clear reason and both giant pandas and American black bears have 
323been observed tobogganing down snow-covered slopes. 
324<br /> <br />
325Social play among conspecifics most often involves play-fighting, while running and chasing one another with little or 
326no actual physical contact is less common. Quite detailed observation of American black bears, both in captivity and in the wild, 
327have shown that play usually involves sequences of behavior which are commonly used in other situations but which, during play, 
328are terminated incomplete.
329<br /> <br />
330For example, bears' play-fighting resembles real fighting in terms of the activities used but never involves erection of 
331the hair around the neck and shoulders,  an aggressive signal which is almost always seen during a real contest.
332<br /> <br />
333Some behaviors: head-butting and muzzle-biting are never seen in non-play contexts, and head-butting in particular appears 
334to act as an invitation to other animals to play. However, bears play may also serve other functions because it is not 
335solely restricted to cubs.  Adult male polar bears have been observed to indulge in playful interactions during which both participants demonstrate mutually predictable and stereotypic behavioral sequences.
336<br />
337In general, it has been suggested that such social play by bears helps individuals to refine their social behavior and 
338develop their ability to assess competitive opponents in a non-threatening context.

527                    <strong>Asiatic black bear</strong> (Ursus thibetanus) is medium-sized and usually uniformly black,
528                    except for its light-coloured muzzle and a distinctive white chevron extending out
529                    to the shoulders from the chest. In some areas, individuals, may appear to have a
530                    more brown coloration. The ears appear large in proportion to the rest
531                    of the head. The Asiatic black bear is suffering from the encroachment
532                    of human activities into its habitat.</td>

545                    <strong>Red Panda</strong> (Ailurus fulgens) is not bear. Calling them Red Panda Bear or Red Panda Bears is improper.
546                    A long debate ensued as to whether or not Red Pandas were in fact bears, in the same manner as the 
547                    Giant Panda. However, it was determined that both Red Pandas and raccoons were related; 
548                    however they were not related to the Giant Panda. This became evidenced after studying the DNA of 
549                    Giant Pandas and comparing them with the DNA of Red Pandas. </td>

562                    <strong>Raccoon</strong> (Procyon lotor) is classified as a Procyonidae.
563                    	They are also members of the Carnivora group and are distinguished by their small size and the fact that 
564                    	they are omnivorous, meaning that they eat both plants and meat. However, raccoons are known for 
565                    	eating anything that they can get their highly adapted claws on. This is one main difference 
566                    	between raccoons and bears, and has helped determine its classification as separate from Panda bears.

584                    as "koala bears" is because it resembles the adorable little teddy bears
