Brown+Bear+-+CJ+P

My project animal is the Brown Bear It lives in North America, Europe, and Asia, but they are most common in Alaska. The Brown bear is at the top of the food chain and has no predators. It is omnivorous, eating mostly a plant diet or animals. They will eat anything they will find. The mating season for brown bears is between mid-may to early July. The females are fully responsible for taking care of the cubs and raising them. The litter size is usually from one to four cubs. Brown bear cubs remain with their mother from two to four years, learning survival instincts. The brown bear also has many subspecies, depending on the Region of the world they are in. The brown bear is one of the largest bear species in the world and one of the few species that are not endangered on the IUCN list as least concern.

While not an endangered species, the populations are declining shortly due to frequent contact with humans can be sometimes fatal. Therefore, hunters are commonly hunting this bear for its paws to trade in the black market. Despite these disasters affecting the bear population, the species remains least concern on the IUCN list but still might be in danger because of hunters. This species is tagged as legal game hunt, but the endangered species act is taking some steps to letting this bear ex pand throughout the world.

One thing we can possibly do is to promote education about bears today and come up with ways to keep this bear from going extinct. To get people to see that these bears are extraordinary species of the environment, they will now try to save them all.
