Bears are large, powerful mammals belonging to the Ursidae family. Found in a variety of habitats across the globe, from icy arctic regions to dense forests and grasslands, they are characterized by their stocky bodies, short tails, and powerful limbs with non-retractile claws. Bears are typically omnivorous, with diets varying depending on species and location, ranging from berries and roots to fish, insects, and even larger prey. While some species, like the polar bear, are highly specialized predators, others are more adaptable generalists. Many bear species hibernate during the winter months, conserving energy while food sources are scarce.
