Hi everyone, I have decided to do a few posts about bears, there
are eight species of bears: the American black bear, the Asiatic
black bear, the brown bear, the giant panda, the polar bear, the sloth bear,
the spectacled bear, and the sun bear. So, over the next few weeks we will have
a look at them and learn something about them.
Bears are found in a wide range of countries across North
America, South America, Asia, and Europe. Specifically, countries with
bears include Canada, the United States (including Alaska), Russia, Japan,
China, Romania, Spain, Sweden, and Norway.
Several animals are commonly referred to as "bears"
but are not actually bears. These include koalas, red pandas,
raccoons, and bear cats.
That will be interesting then Jo-Anne, I don't know a great deal about bears, so will learn more from what you write.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite creatures to watch, but the one who haunts my nightmares!!
ReplyDeleteAre Grizzlies on the list? Maybe, they're a species of brown bear - that's my guess. Great topic, Jo-Anne!
ReplyDeleteI wondered about Grizzlies, too--and the Alaskan Kodiaks. I imagine they are a type of brown bear. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteA great start—looking forward to learning more about these fascinating creatures.
