Golden Bear (Ursus arctos)

The Golden Bear, a subspecies of Ursus arctos, is a large, powerful bear known for its striking golden or honey-colored fur. Native to North America and found in regions like parts of Canada and the Pacific Northwest, it primarily inhabits forested and mountainous areas. Golden Bears are omnivorous, feeding on plants, berries, insects, and small animals. They are solitary animals, except during mating season or when a mother cares for her cubs. Their impressive size, strength, and distinctive coat make them a notable symbol of wilderness and conservation efforts in their habitats.
