 Barry the BearI'm Barry the bear, I love to eat berries, plants and fish. Bears live in many different countries all over the world from Alaska to China. When I grow up I will be big and strong, I will weigh 900kg and be over 2.5m tall when I grow up. I love climbing trees and going for swims. I have colour vision like you humans do, but my sense of smell is better. During winter when there is not much food around I hibernate. This usually lasts about 7 months. There are lots of different types of bears. Black bears, brown bears, grizzly bears, polar bears and panda bears are just some. Brown bears have a hump on their back that other bears don't have. They get these humps from climbing trees. Brown bears are pretty big. They can weigh up to 390kg. A lot of brown bears live in Alaska. They eat lots of fish. The black bear lives in the forest. Black bears eat berries, nuts and grasses. They like to eat just about anything. Black bears have black to dark brown fur. They have small eyes but they have long noses. They also have long claws which they use to dig, tear and climb. Grizzly bears are a type of brown bear. They are very big bears. They can stand on their back legs. They are very tall and strong. The grizzly has brown fur. Grizzly bears like eating bugs, honey, berries, fish, even moose and deer. They like to live in cool habitats. Polar bears live where there is cold, ice and water. Polar bears are meat eaters (carnivores) and they like to eat seals and whales. These bears get very big. Their back legs are longer than their front legs, and they use their powerful legs for swimming. Polar bears are excellent swimmers. Their fur is oily to help keep their bodies dry. Their fur is white and their skin is black. |
