How is it that a bear can hibernate through the winter without eating or even using the bathroom?
No. Bears stop eating several days before they go to bed in fall. Some waste still builds up inside. But it forms a special intestinal plug. Scientists call it a fecal plug. Think of it as a cork in a bottle. A Yellowstone National Park study says, "This plug may keep the bear from defecating [pooping] inside the den during hibernation, as fecal plugs are found just inside or outside the dens of bears that have just emerged."
It would go against all their survival instincts if they hibernated in the summer
They give birth to their young during the hibernation period, in the winter
. Being such a large mammal, they need time to nurture their young in relative protection from large males who have no qualms about eating a sows babies. Over the millennial of evolution they have become instinctual about hibernation. By the time the cubs are nine months or so, they have developed enough skills to survive with their mother's help.
After they reach the age of two years they go off on their own
first off, i think u meant "where do bears live"
they live in the Antarctica, mountains, forests, pretty much anywhere where there is a place to live and where there is food to maintain their appetite

Are bears endangered by gobal warming?
YES! They are. Dateline April 2011: The IUCN lists Ursus arctos horribilis as 'Threatened', and in 2009 they were listed as 'Endangered' by the US Department of Fish & Wildlife. Although their population is growing at an average rate of four to seven percent per year, about 40 are killed each year as 'nuisance animals' in the Yellowstone area.
No. A race of the brown bear, grizzlies are no longer considered endangered. Some local populations once very endangered have rebounded, but as a species, the brown bear is not endangered.
As the grizzly is merely a race of the brown bear, which is not endangered, you can safely assume it is not endangered.
yes, cause really brave hunters are getting closer to them
What food chain does the sloth bear fit into?
Sloths are herbivores meaning they only eat plant materials. The spend most of the time up in trees eating leaves, but they only have to eat once a week! This is because of the slow digestive system. A sloths diet includes different nuts, berries, leaves, small twigs and mangoes and coconuts depending on the species. Such as the Three Toed Sloth enjoys a juicy mango or lucius coconut.
The mother bears are tolerant of other cubs, more so they may even adopt a stray. Bears usually don't communicate with other bears except for summer when there is a plentiful amount of fish. when there is a lot of fish bears might go fishing shoulder to shoulder sometimes but there always has to be a dominance order. If two bears of about equal size want the same spot for fishing they will fight it out until one submits. If a bear from a previous fight sees its previous victor, it will give up the spot to the victor, avoiding yet another fight.
What is the body covering of a bear?

There are certainly animals known locally as 'tree bears' in Ghana but the correct name for these animals is the Tree Hyrax.
I was very familiar with the nocturnal calls of these creatures - a series of rather blood-curdling shrieks, rising in pitch - when I worked at Kwahu Hospital from 1965 to 1967. Being in the Nkakaw Forest Reserve, there was a good population of these animals and I briefly had one as a pet - and have photos of it.
Imagine a guinea pig scaled up to about the size of a small cat.

Yes, there are wolves in Lebanon. Unfortunately due to habitat loss and persecution, there is only one pack that is still recorded in the Lebanon Mountains. The pack includes up to 12 individuals and is notoriously elusive.
I have actually seen a couple while hunting close to Ehden in the mountains.
Well, they're kinda all removed but I think you can still find -rarely- some.
Many animals have been trained - - both benignly and cruelly - - to do many amazing things. So, if you've seen an animal dancing or doing something else that seems out of the ordinary, then, it's, most likely, real. Of course, fake videos are always a possibility, but, it's, usually, easy to spot them from the real thing. Thanks for the great question!

I would try to run DOWNHILL AND AWAY FROM the bear, as they are known to be slower at running DOWNHILL than UPHILL, due to their physical structure.
DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT climb the nearest tree, as bears CAN CLIMB TREES.
From the lighter side: The ONLY way to outrun a bear is to run faster than some other prey in their line of sight. That's why you always go camping with someone that you KNOW can't run faster than you.
