Bears as Predators ~

[Dr Panthera]

Brown bears , especially males, get a good percentage of their diets from animal protein, while sacrificing agility and camouflage for strength and size bears are surprisingly fast and able to overtake young and injured ungulates and easily dispatching them: American and European bisons, elk, red deer, moose, white-tailed deer, mule deer, rein deer, sika deer, roe deer, and wild boar are all taken, mountain dwelling ungulates as well.
Fish, especially salmon remains an excellent source of animal protein.
Bears are good scavengers and routinely dispossess other carnivores from their kills including at times formidable wolf packs and Amur tigers as well as leopards, cougars, coyotes, dholes, and jackals.
American black bears are important predators of deer fawns, Himalayan black bears occasionally kill ungulates.
Spectacled bears, sun bears, and giant pandas are mostly vegetarian and sloth bears are insectivores.
Polar bears remain the true carnivore bears. Reply
