I have chosen to write about brown bears. Classifying about brown bears, brown bears belong to Kingdom Animalia. Not only are brown bears, other animals also belonged in Kingdom Animalia. In Kingdom, prokaryotes are not contained, and instead it contains eukaryotes. All animals belonged in Kingdom Animalia, are multicellular, mobile, reproduce sexually and heterotrophs. (Myers, 2001) The definition of heterotrophs is an organism that is unable to synthesize its own organic carbon-based compounds

Bears’ portrayals of Alaska’s beauty and wildlife, and studying what the environmental cycle is like in Alaska, viewers can come to know what Alaska means to them. The film is able to provide a representation of the American people’s belief of Alaska as being an untamed, beautiful wilderness with free roaming wildlife that is from and far protected, from the changing world. Yet the film raises the possibility, though not as prominent as it should, that climate change will alter the landscapes shown
species of mammals reside in Alaska. One is of the bear species, the black bear. Black bears have a medium to heavy frame with large ears and powerful limbs. The black bear has a coat that can differentiate from brown, cinnamon, blond, grey-blue, and of course, black. They can adapt to their environment easily, but are normally found in forested areas. It has a diet that consists of fruits, buds, berries, nut, insects, and food lest by humans.
of the given information that the organisms possessed. A hypothesis was formed with considering which of the given organisms had the most physiognomies in common. With that in mind, the American Black Bear and the American Brown Bear were next to each other in the cladogram due to both of the two bears having a related origin, similar appetite and the matching genus names. The same concept was applied
The adaptations of bears have changed drastically due to hunting or habitat loss and sometimes captured for performances because of aggressive behavior and destruction of personal crops. The adaptions alter the way these eight species of bears grow and prosper. The development of their physical, dietary, and population has opposed how bears should really advance as group. Like all animals, black bears exhibit specific adaptations that help them survive in their habitats. Black bears are scientifically
Black Bears fur can range in color to very black or brown. American black bears are omnivorous, they like to eat berries, meats, roots, insects, larvae, and fish. They are also able to murder adult deer and hoofed wildfire kill elk, deer, and moose they are attractive to human garbage. Grizzly Bears are dark brown, there are omnivores. They eat roots off plants, berries, and eat through garbage dumps. Female Black Bear gives birth to their cubs in the winter in the den. In January or in February
Evolution of polar bears Polar bears have very interesting history, they evolved from bears. Polar bears have black skin but there fur is white because they adapted to the arctic ocean. They use the sea ice to platform to hunt their prey. They hunt seals for prey. They have 45 teeth that help them tear seals skin. Polar Bears have adapted to their environment by many reasons. The main reason is by their fur because they have thick oily fur coat. They also have have a layer of fat under their skin
Bears have evolved throughout many, many years. There are multiple different types of bears including the brown bear, polar bear, panda bear, etc. Before bears, there were, and still are, animals like raccoons and lesser pandas. The bears’ closest “relatives” would be found in the pinniped, canid, and musteloid families. Bears are found in the ursidae family. The bears’ evolution started around 30 million years ago. Early ancestors of bears compare to bears now because they have some of the same
The Kermode Bear The Kermode Bear is a different kind of black bear because it has a gene that normal black bears don’t have. This bear was mentioned in a book called Touching Spirit Bear. This particular bear is a subspecies of the black bear. It has dark nose pads, white or creamy fur, brown eyes, and nearly white claws. This kind of bear is quite rare and maybe about 100 exist near British Columbia. It’s scientific name is the Ursus americanus kermodeii. The few white bears that live outside
Grizzly Bear The Ursus arctos horriblilis mostly known as the Grizzly bear is a mammal and an Omnivore. At around the height of 2 meters it is a historic type of bear. It is famous for it’s massive claw’s and it large intake of food per day averaging at 30 kilo’s. As omnivores, Grizzly bears will eat anything nutritious that they can find, gorging foods ranging from roots to sheep. Their diet adapts depending on what foods are available for the season. The Grizzly bear is one of the biggest and

because there was no instance where he or she needed to leave his or her comfort zone or figure out life. Often times, situations like these can happen to people because they spent their entire lives avoiding scenario after scenario. In Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen, one of the central topics addressed in the novel is finding solutions to problems in life. The protagonist, Cole, overcomes serious problems he has and, in turn, makes his life more agreeable. Not only does Cole tackle tough situations
America was a newly formed country with a rugged, untamed landscape that only the adventurous spirits of the often fabled, but very real mountain men matched. Jim Bridger, Jeremiah Smith, Kit Carson, and a man who history cannot agree, whether it is his birth year or actual events from his life, Jeremiah Liver-Eating Johnson, are notable mountain men that existed and live on in facts, legendary tales, and the imaginations of historians an adventurers alike. Well, what is a mountain man? The University
A moose, or an elk, as it is referred to in Europe. A sweet, innocent, and quite a harmless animal, or at least that is how most would describe the characteristics of a moose. How could something with such harmless features and unhostile behavior, be able to provoke the author to have such aggressive impressions and feelings towards the wild creature. Ironic right? In the short essay,”Hunters” from Bill Bryson 's essay collection,” Notes from a Big Country”(1998), the author explains and argues his

According to the way this story is told, bears and humans could talk and understand each other; although it was on a higher level than plain speech. So this bear took pity on the lost man and cared for him. The bear told him that he would need to live off the bear in the future and then proceeded to teach him all about bear nature. The bear also reassured the man that he would never go hungry
Cole’s Life Conflict What if the Cole was the Spirit Bear? What if he was really fighting with himself the whole time? It would make sense, whenever the Spirit Bear was around Cole, it is feeling the same way that Cole was. Cole Matthews was a sarcastic and a dishonest fifteen-year-old that was always angry and looking for trouble. He had a problem with blaming people for his troubles, when really that main problem was himself. Cole had parents that didn’t even care about him, his father always
Each time he messed up, he learned from it, you make a mistake, and you make a success out of it. When he was instigating the fight with the Spirit Bear that he couldn’t win. He ignored the thistles as the bear sank its teeth into his thigh, lifting him like a rag doll. Cole’s stomach churned as he swung his knife wildly. Each time he stabbed the bear, its powerful jaws clamped harder. Cole felt his pelvis crack, his body went weak and the knife slipped from his hand. When Cole was lying on the ground

He gets in trouble and gets an opportunity to go to Circle Justice. Cole is banished to a remote Alaskan island where he gets mauled by a bear. This helps Cole realize that he has been taking the wrong path of life. Cole is already a very troubled kid with a lot of anger issues, attitude, and jail sentences, which, therefore, led him to beating
Cole seems to be changing personality wise quite fast. Edwin mentions that people either change slowly under peer pressure or all at once after a traumatic event. Cole’s personality seems to have shifted all of a sudden after Spirit Bear’s attack. Before the attack Cole was furious and thought everyone hated him so he burned all his supplies. Cole had always felt superior about himself, but after the attack his anger somewhat faded and he began to himself as a much smaller item than the rest of the
