Brown Bear

The brown bear is a large mammal found across North America, Europe, and Asia. Known for its distinctive hump on the back and powerful build, it can weigh between 300 to 1,500 pounds. Brown bears are omnivores, feeding on plants, berries, fish, and small mammals. They are excellent swimmers and have a keen sense of smell. Their habitats vary, including forests, mountains, and tundra. Brown bears are generally solitary, except for mothers with cubs. They hibernate during winter months, relying on fat reserves. Conservation efforts are important as their populations face threats from habitat loss and human activities.
