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.

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.

How much does an adult brown bear weigh?
220- 1,500 pounds
They commonly weigh between 700 and 1600 pounds, however even greater weights are possible: the largest brown bear ever recorded checked in at a staggering 14 feet tall and 2,500 pounds!
How many cubs does a Brown Bear have?
Black bears typically have three cubs in a litter. Less often, but quite frequently, black bears will have two or four offspring. Even less often, black bears will produce one or five offspring.
The first time a sow bears offspring, she will often bear only one cub and will usually produce an average of three cubs every two years after that.
In food poor years, black bears will often produce fewer offspring due to the process of delayed implantation, which allows bear populations to regulate their own numbers.
They make a variety of sounds woofs, growls, and roaring like anger aggressive calls.
What do you call a small bear?
This description fits the koala. However, it is not strictly correct to say a koala is bear-like, as it is not even remotely related to bears. Koalas are marsupials, but bears are placental mammals.
If a puma and grizzly bear fought who would win?
It depends on the scenario and the incident of the fight. A grizzly bear has sharp enough claws to pierce into the bull's head and swat that thing to death. If the bull charges and gores the grizzly bear with those horns, it would win the fight against the grizzly bear.
Answer 2:A grizzly would not dare take on a big bull in a natural environment. And a bull, like all prey animals, would rather run the other way than take on a great bear like a grizzly. But if a fight should occur, a bull, if he has horns, would gore the bear in the ribs, or if he's not horned, would crush the bear's ribs with his head to the point that the bear may die soon after. The bear will try to claw at the bull with his long claws and bite at the throat, but the dewlap on the bull, not to mention the bull's thick, muscular neck, would protect him from serious injury. Thus, a bull would win.Polar bears naturally adapt to their cold habitat because of the thick layer of fur they have. However, even they need shelter at times. When this is needed a polar bear will look for ice packs near the sea.
What would win in a fight between a rhino and a hippo?
The rhino is slightly heavier but the hippo is longer. Hippo's teeth can measure 50 cm. rhino's hor is twice as big and rhinos are more aggressive. I'll say the rhino will win in a slight advantage.
What kind of animals born in spring?
There isn't one thing that all animals do in the spring. For one thing, not all animals live where there is a spring season. However, many animals bring forth young in the spring and the name "spring" derives from that practice. The reason is that this offers the best change of finding food during the first months of life.
How can a predator population decrease but the prey population stay the same?
Even if a prey species reproduces incredibly fast ,this will just mean more food for the predators. More food for predators usually translates into more predators and more mouths to feed.
If this doesn't balance out the predator or the prey species die off but if it does balance out it is usually because the predators need a lot of time to find the prey or actually eat them, like if they had to guard their meal against scavengers.
