How Long Have Bears Been on Earth?
For approximately 200,000 years.
Bears, in the taxonomic family of Ursidae, split off from other Carnivorans about 38 million years ago. Then the Ursinae subfamily originated around 4.2 million years ago. According to both fossil and DNA evidence, the polar bear split from the grouping of the brown bear, Ursus arctos, roughly 200,000 years ago. This is thought to have happened due to their isolation during a period of glaciation in the Pleistocene period.
How fast can the fastest bear run?

Do all bears hibernate in winter?
Bears hibernate during winter, but aren't sleeping the whole time. Hibernation for bears simply means they don't need to eat or drink, and rarely urinate or defecate (or not at all). There is strong evolutionary pressure for bears to stay in their dens during winter, if there is little or no food available. But bears will leave their dens on occasion, particularly when their den gets flooded or is badly damaged.
Weather does play a role. In the colder, northern parts of Alaska, bears hibernate about 7 months of the year. Bears in the warmer, coastal regions of the state hibernate for 2-5 months, with the longer hibernation time for bears raising newborn cubs.
Tall grass plains are areas with rich soil, moderate rainfall and tall grasses. Food for animals is rich and plentiful. However such plains are in demand for agricultural purposes and aminals are displaced. The short grass plains are areas of short grass and little rain and are usually unsuitable for agriculture. Animals can live here without too much disturbance. They have adapted to semi arid areas, a windy environment with few trees, very low temperatures in winter and high in summer. All animals learn to live here from small beetles to the largest species. Thus a food chain is established, the herbivores eat the grass and the few shrubs and the carnivores eat the herbivores. The plains are flat and are able to provide a moderate food supply, the terrain of hills and mountains are not favourable places, but in their own way do support a few other spieces
What happens to predator population when the prey population increases?
Simply put, the predator population tends to increase, too. Eventually, there is a scarcity of prey, and then the predator population drops because many of them starve. Then the prey population recovers. It's known as "nature balancing herself", and it's been going on for millions of years and yet it is pretty successfully.

How long will it take to drive 20 miles at 60 miles per hour?
Time = Distance/Speed
But, because there are 60 minutes in an hour, the time taken to travel a distance X at 60 mph is X minutes.
So time reuired = 274 minutes = 4 hours 34 minutes.

What does that mean? Is it a very one-way relationship? Or do you no have support from family and friends? It possibly can't mean having a relationship 'with' yourself,unless you're too full of yourself or have a multiple personalities disorder! If it's between two people and you're the one doing most part of the work for carrying on the relationship,it's definitely time for serious thought.Nothing goes one-way,but at the same time you must also consider if your spouse is going through a rough phase in life,and just needs you to be there without him/her temporarily putting in too much into the relation. If it's the support of family and friends that's bothering you,then try focusing on the faith and trust that you have on your spouse,and try considering if it'll see you through ups and downs,even if your dear ones may not totally agree.Try incorporating your spouse within your circle in subtle and sweet ways,like your spouse could just be there helping your parents some day.Initially it will be very rough,but things will ease if your close ones see you happy,but it's important to be sure of the intentions of the person you plan to live with.
