Most of us have had some kind of an acquaintance with bears.
Zoos always have a number of bears which are usually good attractions.
As scientists study bears of all kinds, amazing facts come to light on how they live and the designs built into them to enable them to survive in some extreme climates. Black and brown bears do not mate in the fail when fattening up for winter is a major concern Instead, they mate in late spring and early summer. Once the sperm meets the egg, the egg begins to divide and then it just stops, dropping into a state of suspended animation. It stays in this state for several months until the bears have gorged on fall food in preparation for winter. Once that is accomplished, the eggs resume their development into a baby bear.
