Bears Bear species There are 8 species, or kinds, of bear. Most bears live wild in the the northern hemisphere. There are no bears in the wild in Africa, Antarctica, or Australia. The 8 species of bear are: Brown bears, Malayan Sun bears, Polar bears, Asiatic Black bears, American Black bears, Giant Pandas, Sloth bears and Spectacled bears. The biggest bear is the Alaskan Brown bear . It grows to be about 2.7 metres long and can weigh up to 770 kilograms. The smallest bear is the Sun bear . It is also called the Malayan Sun bear . It grows to be about 100 centimetres long and weighs up to 45 kilograms. Malayan sun bear cub Food Bears are omnivores (say om-nee-vors ). This means that they hunt and kill other animals for food, but also eat other foods such as fruit, leaves, insects, honey and fish. Movement Bears can move quickly. Polar bears can run at speeds of up 56 kilometres an hour. Bears can climb trees and swim. Reproduction Most kinds of bears live alone. A male and a female bear stay together for a few weeks and mate but then the male leaves and the female finds a place to give birth to her cubs. She may go to a cave or dig a burrow with her strong claws. Female polar bears dig dens in the snow. Usually, a female has two cubs, but sometimes there are up to four. When the cubs are born they have no fur and their eyes are closed. The cubs drink milk from their mother's body. After about one month the cubs can see and they have fur. When they are 2 or 3 months old the cubs follow their mother out of the den. She teaches them to hunt. Cubs may stay with their mother for up to two years.

43. POLAR BEARS 1. There are five other species in the genus Ursus brown bears, Americanblack bears, Asiatic black bears, sun bears, and sloth bears. http://www.seaworld.org/infobooks/PolarBears/pbscientific.html

I. Scientific Classification. A. Order - Carnivora. The scientific order Carnivora includes bears, dogs, cats, raccoons, otters, weasels, and their relatives. All typical carnivores have well developed claws and a pair of specialized cheek teeth for cutting hard foods. B. Family - Ursidae. All bears belong to this family. The family is divided into three subfamilies, Ursinae (black bears, brown bears, polar bears, sloth bears, and sun bears), Tremarctinae (spectacled bears), and Ailuropodinae (giant pandas). C. Genus, species - Ursus maritimus. 1. There are five other species in the genus Ursus: brown bears, American black bears, Asiatic black bears, sun bears, and sloth bears. Species can be distinguished by size, build, coloration, and habitat. Ursus maritimus is Latin for "sea bear". D. Fossil record. The oldest known polar bear fossil is less than 100,000 years old. Polar bears probably developed during the Pleistocene era from an ancestral brown bear. Polar bears and brown bears are still closely related; when cross-bred, they produce fertile offspring.

"And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature , that was the name thereof." Genesis 2:19 Bears (Bible Memory Verses Marked in Red) "Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:27 Bears: Any of several species of a large carnivorous mammal , related to giant pandas, lesser pandas , raccoons, and dogs. A bear is distinguished from members of the other carnivore families by its heavy body; short tail; short, rounded ears; and plantigrade feet (both heel and sole touch the ground, as in humans) with five clawed toes. It also lacks the shearing teeth common to most carnivores; the crushing molars of a bear are believed to be an adaptation for a plant diet. Although all bears are classified as carnivores, the different species vary widely in their feeding habits. For example, the polar bear feeds almost exclusively on seals and other animals, but it may also graze on vegetation ; the grizzly eats grasses, herbs, berries, and nuts as well as living or dead fish and other animals.

Too smart to go back to the wild Sun bears that have spent their early years around humans as pets have a pretty difficult time transitioning back to a life in the wild. They've become used to "the good life" and find that nature can even be fatal.

49. Game Warden Wildlife Jounal: BEARS Tropical species, such as sun bears and sloth bears, do not have a winter sleepperiod. Most sun bears have a black coat and a grayish or orange nose. http://www.gamewardentv.com/learnmore/bears.htm

BEARS Bear is a large, powerful animal with thick, shaggy fur. Bears prey on other animals and are classified by zoologists as carnivoresthat is, animals that eat chiefly meat. But most bear species also eat other foods, including fruit, nuts, leaves, insects, and fish. The Alaskan brown bear is the largest carnivore that lives on land. It grows about 9 feet (2.7 meters) long and may weigh up to 1,700 pounds (770 kilograms). The sun bear, also called the Malayan bear, is the smallest bear. It is 3 to 4 feet (91 to 120 centimeters) long and weighs only 60 to 100 pounds (27 to 45 kilograms). Most wild bears live north of the equator. They are found in Asia, Europe, and North America, and in the Arctic near the North Pole. Only one species, the spectacled bear, lives in South America. No wild bears live in Africa, Antarctica, or Australia. The body of a bear Most bears have heavy bodies with long, thick fur, loose skin, and large, hairy heads. Bears have small eyes and cannot see well. Their small, rounded ears stand straight up, but they hear only fairly well. They have an excellent sense of smell. Bears have short, strong legs and large feet. Each foot has five toes, and each toe ends in a long, heavy claw. The claws can always be seen because, unlike those of a cat, they have no covering. A bear uses its claws to dig up roots, ants, termites, and other food, or to tear its prey. A bear's walk differs from that of most other animals. Most animals walk and run on their toes. A bear, like a human being, puts the entire sole of its foot on the ground with each step and the heel of the foot strikes the ground first. The hind feet of a large bear may be 12 to 16 inches (30 to 41 centimeters) long. The large feet, the short legs, and heel-first way of stepping make bears look slow and clumsy. But bears are agile and can move fast. Polar bears can run at speeds of up to 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour.

Maned Wolf Spectacled Bear Animal Facts The largest carnivore on land, a male polar bear can grow to 10 feet in length and weigh more than 1,000 pounds. Clever hunters, polar bears have been known to slink along the arctic snow and ice, covering their black nose with a paw in order to sneak up on unsuspecting seals. The Malayan sun bear is named for the sunburst-shaped marking on its chest. It uses its sickle-like talons to dig for termites and other insects, lapping them up with its 10-inch-long tongue. The spectacled bear of South America gets its name from the distinctive markings around its eyes, which resemble a pair of eyeglasses. Update My Kind of Zoo Tour the Zoo Main Menu

51. World Wide Conservation Programs The first involved bringing ten sun bears to zoos in the United Statesfor study and captive breeding. The killing of sun bears http://www.zoo.org/conserve/worldwide/sunbear.html

Your browser does not support script The sun bear is the world's smallest bear, and unlike other bears it spends a good majority of its time living in the trees and eating a mainly vegetarian diet. Its name is derived from the beautiful golden patch it sports on its chest. Unfortunately, in the past few decades these shy and elusive bears have become endangered; it is estimated that fewer than 1,000 individuals remain throughout their native territory of Southeast Asia. The sun bear is threatened by habitat destruction due to agricultural demands, capture of babies for the pet trade, and victimization by poachers who use the meat for food and the other parts, such as paws and gallbladders, for traditional medicines. Sunbears Under Fire Woodland Park Zoo has been involved in two projects working to save this endangered bear. The first involved bringing ten sun bears to zoos in the United States for study and captive breeding. The killing of sun bears by poachers has resulted in many orphaned cubs, and these cubs are subsequently sold into the pet trade. When these pets are confiscated by the government, they are taken to the rehabilitation centers at Sepilok and Sarawak, where workers attempt to reintroduce them into the wild. Unfortunately, in many cases this is impossible, as the cubs grew up as pets and cannot function in the wild. The rehabilitation centers are overrun with bears, and due to limited staff they cannot receive proper treatment.

52. WOODLAND PARK ZOO "DISCOVERS" SUN BEARS SEATTLE_Discovery Channel Canada has joined forces with Woodland Park Zoo to documentthe transfer of 10 confiscated endangered Malayan sun bears to US zoos. http://www.zoo.org/pressroom/pr/2000/pr5_11_2000.htm

Woodland Park Zoo- PRESS RELEASE May 11 , 2000 Woodland Park Zoo "Discovers" Sun Bears Contact: Gigi Allianic, 206-.684-4838 Gigi.allianic@zoo.org SEATTLE_Discovery Channel Canada has joined forces with Woodland Park Zoo to document the transfer of 10 confiscated endangered Malayan sun bears to U.S. zoos. Beginning May 11, Discovery Channel Canada will accompany staff from Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo on a 70+ hour journey to the Sepilok Forest Reserve in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia, to document the transfer of the sun bears to zoo officials. The bears come from the Sepilok Rehabilitation Center and will be relocated to eight accredited U.S zoos. The documentary about the project is set to air in Canada in January 2001. This is only the second time that the Malaysian government has allowed these highly endangered bears to legally leave the country under a long-term loan granted by the Sabah Wildlife Department. The bears will be placed in the eight accredited U.S. zoos under the sun bear Species Survival Plan (SSP) that seeks to enhance the genetic diversity among the bears at zoos in North America. Cheryl Frederick, the North American coordinator of the sun bear SSP says sun bears are a "number one candidate" for extinction because of their rapidly shrinking numbers in the wild, habitat depletion, and the increasing popularity of all bear parts for use in traditional Asian medicines and as gourmet food products. Sun bears cubs have endearing personalities and are often exploited as part of the wildlife pet trade in Southeast Asia; an adult bear is usually dangerous and expensive to keep. Such bears are turned over to the Wildlife Department and become permanent captives since re-released bears often become nuisance animals and are killed by villagers. Because of their secretive nature in the wild, study of sun bears has been difficult.

The systems sport the Sun logo but were actually designed by Dot Hill as part of an agreement that began in 2002. The first fruit of the partnership was the StorEdge 3310 SCSI, a product that lacks the Ethernet network connection abilities of the 3310 NAS. The 3510 is the same size as the 3310a 3.5-inch-thick rack-mountable systembut can connect to special-purpose storage networks using the Fibre Channel technology. The system has eight Fibre Channel ports.
