"Bruins" is a common nickname used to refer to brown bears (Ursus arctos), particularly those found in North America. These large mammals are characterized by their massive size, distinctive shoulder hump, and powerful claws. Bruins are omnivores with a diverse diet, ranging from berries and insects to fish and large mammals. They are typically solitary animals, except during mating season or when females are raising cubs. While generally avoiding human contact, bruins can be dangerous if surprised or feel threatened, making it crucial to practice bear safety in their habitat.
