Bear Anatomy

[Polar]

I don't know if @GrizzlyClaws can confirm this, but I think black bears (much like pandas) tend to have higher molar bite forces than brown or polar bears due to tense chewing of vegetation. The more omnivorous bears tend to have thicker tooth roots, and black bears may be subject to this rule more than brown bears. Brown bears, on average, are usually more carnivorous and tend to have thinner tooth roots, and so on for polar bears as well. Reply
