Do brown bears live in the jungle?
There are several species of bears that are found in rainforests. The spirit bear (close relation to the American black bear) and the grizzly are found in the temperate rainforests of the west coast of British Columbia and Washington state. Asian black bears, sloth bears and sun bears are found in rainforests in the more southern parts of Asia.
Are porcupines part of the pig family?
no, they are rodents while pigs are ungulates (distant relatives of cows)
How are brown bears and squirrels the same?
Yes, Red Squirrels prefer to live among the branches of trees, however, they're being pushed out of their habitats by Grey Squirrels, as the Greys digestive system can process a more diverse source of foods, their systems can digest foods that have a high tannin content, whereas the Red Squirrel is limited to low tannin sources of foods, plus the Grey Squirrel carries a disease that doesn't affect it, but is deadly to the Red Squirrel population if contracted.

Yes. There were recent reports in Vancouver of a black bear that was found dead, with necropsy evidence suggesting a cougar killed it. It's possible that black bear was a just-weaned cub and probably tried to defend itself from the cougar but lost.

What does a bear do after hibbernation?
the bears fur keeps it warm so that way it can't go out and look for prey
bear makes itself a den where it can stay warm, then enters a deep sleep. Bears do not technically "hibernate" such as other animals like the marmot; bears can wake up and have been documented going outside and walking around occasionally in the winter.
Pregnant females will give birth to usually two cubs while in their winter den.
---
True hibernation such as in rodents is defined by drastic changes in body temperature, dropping to just a few degrees above ambient temperature (the temperature in their den), slowed heart rate and respiration. Rodents are in a deep torper that takes some time to wake from, but they do periodically wake up to eat stored food, urinate and defecate.
Bears on the other hand, only drop their body temperature a few degrees, although their heart and breathing do drop. They are able to wake up faster if they are disturbed, but do not eat or drink all winter, they are able to process urea into water.
Technically, as the other anwerer said, bears do not hibernate, but there isn't a good term for what they do. Some use 'winter lethergy' or winter torpor' or some other phrase to distinguish it, but hibernation is commonly used by the public.
Some say that this adaptation makes them more efficient hibernators, and they should be 'true hibernators' while rodents are reclassified, but in science, often tradition takes precedence, and details of rodent hibernation was studies before the differences between them and bears were known.
Can a black bear kill a tiger?
Grizzly bears don't live where alligators live, so it can be impossible, let alone false to say that it has been known for grizzlies to do something like that. So to answer the question "CAN a grizzly bear kill an alligator?" the answer to that would be NO because grizzly bears do not live nor exist where alligators thrive and vice versa.
