The brown bear is primarily nocturnal? and in the winter? puts on up to 400 pounds of fat, becoming very lethargic. Although they are not true hibernators? and can be woken easily, they like to den up in a protected spot such as a cave, crevice or hollow log during the winter months. Being omnivore?s, they feed on a variety of plants and berries including roots or sprouts and fungi as well as fish, insects and small mammals. Normally a solitary animal, the brown bear congregates alongside streams and rivers during the salmon? spawn. Every other year females produce 1-4 young which are the size of rats, weighing only 1 pound.
