Both. Bears are omnivorous, they eat both plants and animals depending on what is available. The Giant Panda eats mainly bamboo shoots and leaves, but will occasionally eat small birds and animals. On the other extreme, polar bears eat mostly meat with an small portion of their diet consisting of berries, roots and kelp. The other species of bears have a more balanced diet, including fruits, nuts, roots, carrion, small mammals, fish, insects, eggs, birds and occasionally larger mammals.

The American black bear's diet is varied, but mostly vegetarian, including twigs, roots, berries, young plants, and buds. Insects-from beetles to ants to bee larvae eaten with honey-are also important. Small mammals and fish augment the diet, when they are easily caught.

Bears are omnivors, meaning they eat plants and animals (meat).

They like to enjoy berries and fruits. And often they will eat a fish or a mouse and even a small child if they can catch one.

Is bear a non vegetarian food animal?

I'm not entirely certain what you mean here. If it's about a human eating bear meat, or if it's about what the bear eats. A bear is an animal, a mammal. Its body consists of meat. Vegetarians are not meant to eat meat. You "can't" eat bear meat and still be 100% vegetarian. Bears eat mostly plant material, but can eat meat. They're considered omnivores. The word vegetarian refers to a human who have chosen not to eat meat. Animals that don't eat meat are generally called herbivores.

What do drop bears look like?

It depends what the animal has been eating recently. Typically, the shape is clumps about 1.5-2" in diameter dropped in a pile. If it has been eating meat, the color will be blackish and the texture smooth. If the bear has been eating plant material, the fibrous plant material will be visible. If the bear has been eating berries, they will be obvious. Because the bear's digestive system works very quickly, food is passed seemingly undigested; many times, berries pass through physically intact.
