Bears Part 1

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.
