Bears (Family: Ursidae) are large, highly adaptable mammals found across North America, Europe, and Asia. They inhabit a wide range of environments including vast forests, cold tundras, rugged mountains, and fertile coastal regions, always selecting habitats abundant in food sources such as berries, fish, or small mammals. Despite their imposing size, these powerful creatures are surprisingly agile, capable of running at high speeds, expertly climbing trees, and swimming proficiently. Many bear species also undergo hibernation during winter, with some, like the polar bear, being exceptional long-distance swimmers.
