Brown Bear
Ursus arctos
Adult brown bears occupy forests, mountains, tundra, coastal areas, and river systems across much of the Northern Hemisphere. They are powerful omnivores, feeding on roots, berries, nuts, insects, fish, carrion, and mammals when available. Adults may dig, fish, overturn logs, defend food, and use bluff charges or direct force when threatened. A notable fact is that coastal populations with access to salmon can grow far larger than inland bears.
