Where does a bear cub live?

A bear cub typically lives with its mother in a den, which can be located in a variety of places such as hollowed-out trees, caves, or underbrush. The den provides shelter and protection, especially during the winter months when the mother hibernates. As cubs grow, they accompany their mother on foraging trips to learn how to find food and navigate their environment. Generally, they stay with their mother for about one to three years before becoming independent.

When you tranquilize a bear for how long are they out?

Depends on the tranq used and whether the correct initial dosage was used based on the animal's weight. Some meds require an antidote to bring the animal out post treatment.

`

Otherwise the idea is to give the animal enough tranquilizer so that is it awakening at the time manipulation/treatment ends.

If the animal is waking before treatment is completed a secondary dose can be calculated and administered to keep it quiescent for additional time.

The aggitation level and or pain level of the animal before it is tranquilized also plays a role in how well and how long the tranquilizer works.

What do bears regularly eat?

Bears and wolves prey on the same animals, such as deer, elk, and caribou. Bears also eat grubs, herbaceous plants, honey and other insects like ants. Bears have a very sensitive sense of smell, and are known to investigate wolf-kills. If only one wolf is present, the bear would challenge, and possibly chase away, the wolf. Conversely, if a pack of wolves came upon a bear-kill, they would probably chase the bear away. Adult male bears are known to eat their cubs. Polar bears eat seals and Grizzly bears eat salmon when in season. The Panda (yes, a bear) is a very picky eater and will only eat bamboo.

What is a descriptions of white Spirit Bear?

Spirit bear is one of the common names for a unique subspecies of the North American black bear. In spirit bear populations, approximately one in every 10 bears is snow-white or cream-coloured; the rest are black. The scientific name of the spirit bear is Ursus americanus kermodei. White spirit bears are not albinos. The white colour phase may be due to the inheritance of a single gene for hair colour, but other more complex genetic mechanisms may be involved. Scientists are still studying this. Two black spirit bears with the right genes can mate and produce white individuals. It is also possible that two white spirit bears could mate and have black cubs. http://www.savespiritbear.org/project/spiritbear/about_bear/faq.html#1
