Bear, any of a group of mammals distinguished by a large, stocky body; powerful limbs; dense fur; and a short, stumpy

tail. Bears live in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, where they occupy a wide range of habitats, including mountain, forest, and Arctic wilderness. Over the last century bear populations have steadily declined as humans have overhunted bears and encroached on their habitat. Bears are bulky animals with wide shoulders, a short back, short and thick legs, broad paws, and a short tail. They have an elongated head, rounded ears that stand straight up, small eyes, and a long snout. Bears hunt for food using an acute sense of hearing and an extremely keen sense of smellsome can detect odors from more than a mile away. Bear eyesight is probably similar in acuity (sharpness) to human vision. Black bears, and likely other bears, have color vision, which helps them identify ripe fruits and nuts.
