Answer 2

hunters in coutries like Asia have been killing them to make food.

they would find one and take it to their restaurant and put it in the back somewhere. every time someone orders "bear soup" (or some other bear recipe) they would have to cut if one of the bears legs and obviously that will continue happening until all of the legs are gone and when they are obviously the bear would have to "go"

Answer 3

There are many reasons why many other bears are becomming endangered according to researchers. There are also reasons why these bears are dangerous to other animals/humans and sometimes vigorous.

Polar bears- Polar bears are mainly endangered because of global warming in the past 200 years of Co2 increasing every year. Ice caps melting and more glaciers being lost because of human activity has made polar bears move away. Killer whales are blames to eat polar bears on rare occasions, but it does sometimes happen. Polar bears are being poached in the last 10 years, but hunting illegally has made them endangered. Today, the government has made good ideas to save the polar bears. Polar bears, especially the big males, have paws that reach the size of 10 inches wide and claws over 6 inches long. It has the strength to kill a 4000 pounded bull walrus and knock a walruse's tusks off. These bears do not attack humans, but they only will if humans either try to kill or harm them.

Grizzly bears/ Brown bears/ American Black bears- Although black bears and grizzly bears have been responsible for human deaths since 200 years ago, they are still getting threatened by human activities these days. Grizzly bears and black bears are often poached in closed woods by workers and killed for human safety. Many people have seen grizzly bears and even black bears smash car windows to look for human or dog food to eat. They say that these bears can be friendly towards you as well. Alaskan brown bears and other brown bear species are shy towards humans, but will attack and kill when threatened or bothered. They will avoid humans as much as possible. But on most occasions, black bears still attack humans if humans enter their territories since black bears are the most aggressive species of bears in the world.

Asiatic black bears, sloth bears, sun bears, and panda bears- Panda bears, according to the chinese researchers and records have been extremely rare in China because of habitat loss in China. Because of human population growing in China everyday, pandas are getting near extinction if they do not survive well. The other bears are being threatened by humans as well. Sun bears, known as dog bears or honey bears, are extremely fiercely reputated and have big claws and teeth that can scare off predators or frighten its enemy. These bears, although the smallest species of bears in the world, will attack at any cause or even without a cause. Their big claws and teeth can do serious damages to an adult if the adult is not careful enough. Sloth bears, like sun bears, also defend itself quite well with their claws from predators and humans. When they are attacked or threatened, the sloth bear will often stand up roaring and showing its big claws at the predator. If the predator does not run away, then the sloth bear would either try to chase it or run away from it. There has been many researches and reports of adult sloth bears doing more injuries and attacks than tigers in India. Males can be extremely vicious in defending territories from red dogs, humans, leopards, and even tigers. Females, although smaller than male sloth bears by 65 percent, are known to be fiercer than anything to defend their youngs from predators. Asiatic black bears are actually known to much more aggressive and dangerous than american black bears, although they are smaller in size. Whenever an asiatic black bear sees a human, it will actually attack than anything else. So, the best idea is not to enter its territory or go near its cubs. Male Asiatic black bears have been known to crush down tigers like they would do to a dog when defending territories on some occasions.
