About 22 million years ago, the first ancestors of modern brown bears appeared on Earth. Evolution has done its work and nowadays bears have significantly reduced in size and divided into 8 species. They can be found in almost all climatic zones, from the north to the south. But the maximum concentration of this animal is concentrated in the middle zone. This clever animal prefers to stay away and settle in the most secluded corners of the forest, choosing stormstorms or marshy areas.
The teddy bear can reach 600 kilograms with a very impressive size, length about 2.5 meters and height of 1.4 meters. But of course it is the largest bear and it lives in the Kamchatka region, and the average animal is much smaller. The color of wool depends on the region of residence and can vary from dark brown to light gray. Bear cubs have light spots on their breasts and necks, but as they grow older, they become evenly colored.
Bears are very conservative animals, they build a den seriously and for a long time and live in it for up to ten years until it is useless. They are well oriented in the forest and have a wonderful memory. All the berry and mushroom places the bear will never forget every summer he returns there. Moreover, this clever animal is able to deceive even the most experienced hunter. They perfectly confuse traces and know how to walk backwards.
By the way, everybody remembers the children's poem about Bear, the clubfoot? So here they clubfoot they because at walking step at first on two right paws, and then on the left. That's why it seems that the beast is as if it's getting overwhelmed. But despite this, when running, it can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, but at short distances.
Nature has awarded the animal with big claws, they help the animal to climb trees, but adult solid bears do not do it practically. Huge claws and fangs give the impression that we are facing a brutal killer, but in fact, bears prefer vegetable food. Berries and roots, acorns and hazelnuts are the main food of the forest giant. They are great fishermen, they love frogs and ants' eggs. But in spite of all peaceful nature with the owner of the forest it is better not to meet, he will bravely defend his territory and family.
