Brown Bears

This is  a brown bear.  The picture is from the national geographic website.

Brown bears are one of my favourite bears. But unfortunately they are endangered, (well they'd have to be because that's what my blog is all about) brown bears are beautiful.

(Also from National Geographic)

But I mean seriously? There animals are so gorgeous why would you want to harm them?!

SHOOT WITH CAMERAS, NOT GUNS!

All of the animals on this blog are beautiful in their own way, Panda's are just adorable, Blue whales are so graceful, tigers are just so majestic and monkeys are just so cheekily cute. I don't really think I need to elaborate any more, you get the idea.

Back to the bears, lucky for them they are quite spread out in where they live and the numbers are slowly on the increase but, the bears that live near humans are getting poached.

Brown bears tend to avoid humans and will only attack if they feel threatened, but when they do they are the fiercest. and most dangerous of all bears.

Brown bears are omnivores, they eat both meat and plants. They would be big enough to take down elk and the like but most brown bears will eat mostly plants. But they like fish, especially salmon. But in general if it's edible they will eat it.

Most of a bears life is spend on its own. As the bears only predator is humans they have no need to be in packs.

Brown bears in the wild will live around 15 to 34 years but if kept in captivity it's 47 years.
