Ursidae (family)

Ursidae is the biological family that includes bears, large mammals known for their strong builds, thick fur, and powerful claws. Members of this family are found across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Bears are generally omnivorous, meaning they eat a mix of plants, berries, insects, and small animals. They play important roles in their ecosystems, such as seed dispersal and controlling prey populations. Despite their differences in size and habitat, all Ursidae share key features like a robust body, keen sense of smell, and adaptable behavior suited to diverse environments.
