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. 228 <br /><br /> 229 <center> 230 231 232<ins class="adsbygoogle" 233 style="display:block; text-align:center;" 234 data-ad-layout="in-article" 235 data-ad-format="fluid" 236 data-ad-client="ca-pub-7304917892182792" 237 data-ad-slot="5057606709"></ins>

240 241 </center> 242 <br /> 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. 281 <div align="center"><br /> 282 <i>Bears are born naked and helpless and 283 therefore thermally incompetent; they are totally dependent on the body 284 <br /> warmth provided by their mothers 285 and the den for the first few weeks 286 of life. By 10 days bears 287 have a thin fur coat althought 288 their eyes are still closed </i><br /> 289<img src="images/bears.gif" alt="Bears" width="300" height="224"> 290</div><br /> 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. 339</p> 340 341<div align="center" class="rating"> 342 343<div xmlns:v="http://rdf.data-vocabulary.org/#" typeof="v:Review-aggregate" id="listing"><div class="rated_text"><span property="v:itemreviewed">Bear Planet Bears<br />rated with </span> <span rel="v:rating"><span typeof="v:Rating"><span id="outOfFive_11" class="out5Class" title="3.3" content="3.3"><span property="v:average">3.3</span></span> out of <span property="v:best">5</span></span> (<span id="percentage_11" class="percentClass"><span property="v:count">65.94%</span></span>) (<span id="showvotes_11" class="votesClass"><span property="v:votes">330 Votes</span></span>)</div> 344 <ul class="star-rating" id="rater_11">
