Bears are often seen in the wild. One such encounter was captured by a nature enthusiast and photographer while out in the bear country. Dive into the cute video of a bear cub waving “hello” at the camera.
Habitat
Bears are mostly found in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
In mountainous, forest, grassland, and even desert areas.
Bear diversity
There are various bear species found in America.
This includes the American Black Bear, Brown Bears, Kodiak bears, Kermode bears, and the Louisiana black bear.
In this article, we will be taking a closer look at Brown bears, also known as grizzly bears.
Their name comes from their hair having light tips looking “grizzled” and “grisel,” which means horrible.
Diet
Grizzly are omnivores whose diet mainly consists of fruits, roots, nuts, small rodents, fish, and the occasional elk or moose.
Their diet increases as hibernation nears, so they can store enough body fat reserves to carry them through their 4-7 month hibernation period.
Lifecycle
Grizzly reach sexual maturity between 4 to 7 years, in which a female will mate with various males in the mating season in May and June.
The egg is only implanted in October or November, right before the female hibernates.
Two to three cubs are born around the start of the year and stay with their mother for a few years before leaving and starting their own lives.
Bear cub waves
In the viral video, one can see a mother grizzly with her 2 cubs.
Upon seeing the humans taking the video, one of the cubs stands on its hind legs to get a better view.
The bear cub uses its hands to balance but looks like it is waving.
This adorable moment showcases the curiosity of bear cubs.
