What do bears eat?

Answer 1

Bears are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and meat, like a human. About 85% of their diet is vegetation and 15% is meat, usually. They do eat honey, wasp larvae or grubs straight out the nest, salmon and fish, carrion (animals that have died), sometimes grass in April when it is very, very moist but not when it's too dry, moths, berries, really anything they can find. I'd say they eat everything that occurs in their environment except leaves and animals they cannot catch!!!

Edit: Everybody here including me is assuming you mean brown bears or black bears. You didn't say what type of bear. Polar bears eat seals and panda bears eat bamboo.

Answer 2

Bears must eat constantly during spring, summer, and fall and they'll eat an amazing variety of food. Although they are often portrayed as ferocious carnivores, bears are omnivores which means they eat both meat and plants.

In spring, bears search for newly emerged grasses and forbs (broadleaved plants) in the early morning and late afternoon. To conserve energy, they rest a lot.

Their rate of feeding increases as food quality increases. In summer they will eat throughout the day as they search for nutritious food such as berries. By eating the most when the best quality food is available, bears quickly fatten up for their coming hibernation.

Black bears seldom hunt and chase down big animals for food. The only time black bears are likely to search for meat is in the spring, when plant food is still scarce. During this time, bears may look for newborn deer, elk, and moose.

When a black bear finds a patch of berries, it will spend hours delicately plucking the berries from the bush. It doesn't have dexterous fingers as humans have to pluck fruit. Instead, it uses its flexible lips. A bear's lips can bend and grasp much the way a monkey's prehensile tail can grasp a limb. With these "prehensile" lips, a bear can grasp berries one by one.
