Explore the Bear- Did you know? 

1. Bears are highly adaptable creatures and can be found in almost every part of the world.


2. Bears have a highly-developed sense of smell, which they use to find food and to protect themselves against predators.

 

3. Bears are able to see in color, unlike many other animals.

 

4. Before winter, brown bears will eat up to 41 kg (90 lbs) a day to build up fat storage. They weigh twice as much in the fall than in the spring. 

 

5. Bears hibernate in a different way than many other animals. Hibernation for most animals involves a drastic drop in their body temperature, and they will occasionally arouse to get a drink of water, eat a little food, etc. When bears hibernate (torpor), they are in a deep sleep and usually don’t wake for long periods of time, not even to relieve themselves. Sleeping helps a bear survive during cold seasons when food is not as plentiful.
