Ursidae

Ursidae is the scientific family name for bears, a group of large mammals characterized by strong bodies, thick fur, and powerful claws. This family includes species like brown bears, polar bears, black bears, and others. Bears are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and animals, and they typically have a keen sense of smell. They inhabit various regions worldwide, from forests to Arctic areas. Despite their often solitary nature, some species, like bears during certain times of the year, gather in groups. Ursidae species play important roles in their ecosystems, such as shaping habitats and controlling prey populations.
