Below are some "Did you know" facts about our childhood friend Bears:
There are mainly eight types of bear. They are giant panda,spectacled bear,sun bear,sloth bear,Asiatic black bear,American black bear,brown bear,polar bear.A male bear is named boar,a female is sow and a young is named cub.Bears have a keen sense of smell that is seven times more powerful than that of dogs.Bears have an excellent memory that helps them return from afar to an abundant food location year after year. After bears mate, the bear embryo undergoes delayed implantation, in which it halts development and becomes inactive for as long as six months before implanting in the mother's uterus. Bear attacks are extremely rare and most result when a human surprises a bear, provoking it to respond defensively.
