Buffalo Coyote Elk Moose Sheep Swans Bears are heavyset mammals that constitute the family Ursidae in the order Carnivora. Most bears live in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Bears have a massive, long-snouted head and a stumpy tail.
Short, thick legs end in large, five-toed feet, and each toe is armed with a long, heavy claw. Most have loose skin and long, shaggy fur. They have an excellent sense of smell but poor vision and hearing. Photo Courtesy of Greg Winston. Seven genera and about nine species of bear exist.
