Why are brown bears dying?

The brown bears are not really dying. But if they do, it's just a fact of life. All things die. There's no way to escape it, really. But if i had to come up with a reason, i'd say that it was because of the humans who are messing with them. They know how to survive on their own. Survival of the fittest.

Who wins in a fight between grizzly bear and an elephant?

A grizzly bear wouldn't dare mess with a bison bull or cow. When on the attack, a charging bison can and will gore a bear with its horns, not to mention crush the bear's ribs with his head. A bear can try to get at the neck, but all that thick fur will be in the way, and will come away with more injuries than he intended. A grizzly will steal and kill a bison calf, but only if the calf ventures far from his mother and from the safety of the herd.

Where to get a mud puppy?

shallow creeks , NOT ponds. i have a creek right by my apartments it best to go after it rained. you usually find them in shallow, muddy, cold water creeks. they need a air pump because i caught mine 2 days ago and they died because i didn't put the air pump in there WARNING: they get big enough to bite your hand off and swallow it in one gulp, and they are very territorial mud puppies live at the bottom of lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams, and never leave the water. They hide themselves in vegetation and under rocks and logs, emerging at night to feed on whatever prey they can catch, including crayfish, worms, and snails.

Mudpuppies are easily distinguishable by their bushy, red external gills, which they grow as larva and never lose. They have flat heads, wide tails, stubby legs, and feet with four distinct toes. Their bodies are gray or brownish-gray with blue-black spots.

Females lay large clutches of eggs and guard them until they hatch, a unique trait among salamanders.

Mudpuppies are common throughout their range and have no special conservation status. However, habitat loss and pollution is putting pressure on some local populations.

What is a brown bears habitat?

The Brown Bear's habitat varies by the region they live in. In North America, they like to live along the coastline, in alpine meadows, and in the tundra. In Europe, they're found in mountain woodlands. In Siberia, their preference is to be in the forest.

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?

The fastest bear is the Black Bear, followed by the Brown Bear, and then the Polar Bear. In short, the larger the bear the slower it is. Keep in mind that even the slowest bear can still move it out at about 30 mph. The Brown Bear can run approximately 40 mph. Bears can even run sideways and still beat the fastest human runner.

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.

Animals adapting on plains?

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.
