Question

Form hypothesis: How do bears get the energy and nutrients they need?

Answer 1

Plant foods make up the majority of a bear's diet.

Sometimes as much as 90 per cent. However, fish and meat are important sources of protein and fat, though most non-coastal bears rely on carrion.

They forage through a variety of year-round habitats, consuming a variety of low-calorie foods such as vegetation and insects. In the sprint, season bears move from their dens and eat all the green shrubs and grass.
