Bears: Anatomy, Behavior, and Adaptations

Bears are robust animals with unique physical traits, including a solid torso, muscular shoulders, and a layered fur coat. They are capable of both quadrupedal and bipedal movement, and are efficient runners and swimmers. Bears have a superior sense of smell, acute vision, and strong hearing. They are omnivorous, with powerful jaws and claws for hunting and foraging. Bears are generally solitary, active during the day, and can be territorial. In colder climates, they enter a state of hibernation, conserving energy and giving birth during this period.
