Wild Animals - Brown bears: the massive omnivores largely powered by plants

Wild Animals · 0:41

The brown bear is native to Eurasia and North America, rivaled in size among land carnivorans only by the polar bear. Adult males develop prominent hump muscles and paws up to thirty-six centimeters long designed for digging. Despite their predatory strength, brown bears derive ninety percent of their diet from plants, though they also pursue rodents, insects, or spawning salmon. While classified as least concern globally, several southern populations face severe danger, including the critically endangered Himalayan brown bear and Italy's isolated Marsican population.
