Do any bears live in the desert?

Answer 1

To an extent, yes.

The North American black bear populations in Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas, and Northern Mexico have been known to dwell the deserts, but don't live there permanently, and usually live in national parks nearby.

Also, when grizzly bear populations were more plentiful in previous times, they were known to live in the desert as well. The Atlas bear, which is now extinct, also lived in the North African deserts.

There is a rare species of bear that does live in a desert. The Gobi bear, a subspecies of Brown bear, does live in the Gobi Desert, though it is rare.

Answer 2

This answer depends on whether you limit yourself to hot deserts or not.

Hot deserts (like the Sahara) are devoid of bears as these large carnivores require a plentiful base of prey animals. If you include the cold deserts like the northern regions of Canada, yes there are bears.

Answer 3

At their home,it is cold so they were born there fur thick,so they are warm.But if they go to a desert,they will be hot,and there are not many water at the desert,so the polar bears might die there...

Answer 4

Because it is way to hot for them and there is not enough water there is also not enough food and they would not be able to adapted to there habit so they would not survive

Answer 5

they do live in the desert but it is of ice they hunt seals for food in the other deserts they would starve

Answer 6

the temperature would be too hot for them and the food, and water in a desert

Answer 7

Wherever did you get such a ridiculous idea . Brown bears typically live in forested areas and not at all in any deserts.

Answer 8

I live in the Chihuahuan Desert and bears do live here, primarily in the mountains.

Answer 9

Polar bears actually live in a cold desert - the ice pack and tundra in the Arctic. Their life style and anatomy, however, would not be suitable for a hot desert.

Answer 10

The Arctic is considered by some scientists to be a desert because of the low humidity and lack of precipitation. Not all deserts are hot.
