There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Yes Vinay, a grizzly will feast on ants, termites, bee hives ( including live bees ), wasp nests, bumble bee nests, moths and so on. However, insects make up a very tiny portion of his diet. Normally ( as their habits and personalities vary almost as much as humans' ) a grizzly is about 85% vegetarian and 15% carnivore. Some populations eat more meat than others, but this is an average. During the Pleistocene and into modern times before man-kind better armed himself, the grizzly has been estimated to have been just the opposite; roughly 85% carnivorous. The grizzly ( Ursus arctos ) has the strongest bite-force of any living bear - although pound-for-pound, he is beat by the giant panda, sun bear, and perhaps the Andes bear. The sloth bear has the weakest bite-force among bears.
