===About Bears===
: '''Bears''' help control the [[population]] of other [[animals]] in their [[habitat]].
: '''Bears''' have thick [[fur]].

: '''Bears''' are found in various places around the world like forests, mountains, and some [[arctic]] regions. They prefer woodland, tundra, and polar [[habitats]].
: '''Bears'''' common [[microhabitats]] include caves, dense brush, and trees.
: The name of '''bear''' young is cubs.
===Adaptations of the Bear===
: '''Bears''' have developed strong limbs and sharp [[claws]] for digging and climbing, allowing them to access food and create dens.
: Their thick [[fur]] provides insulation against cold [[climates]], an adaptation for living in harsh climates.
: '''Bears''' have a keen sense of smell to locate food over great distances, helping them find a variety of food sources.
==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''bear''' is an [[omnivorous]] [[mammal]], part of the family [[Ursidae]], known for its significant size, strength, and adaptability to various [[ecosystems]].
===About Bears===
: '''Bears''' contribute to [[ecosystem]] health by controlling [[prey]] [[populations]] and aiding in [[seed dispersal]].
: '''Bears''' are covered in thick [[fur]].
: '''Bears''' may be active at different times, with some [[species]] preferring daylight hours and others being more [[nocturnal]].
: '''Bears''' are [[vertebrates]].
: They serve roles as both [[predator]] and [[scavenger]] in their [[ecosystems]], feeding on a varied diet and sometimes being preyed upon by larger [[animals]] or humans.
: '''Bears''' inhabit diverse environments, from dense forests to [[arctic]] ice fields.
: Common '''bear''' [[microhabitats]] include dense forests for cover, rivers for fishing, and caves for [[hibernating]].
: Most '''bears''' give birth to [[live young]].
: '''Bears''' are [[homeotherms]], maintaining a constant internal [[body temperature]].
: '''Bears''' often live solitary lives but can form groups in certain circumstances, like a mother with her cubs.
: The group noun for '''bears''' is a sleuth or sloth.
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''bear''' is an [[omnivorous]], [[vertebrate]] [[mammal]], classified within the order [[Carnivora]], distinguished by its large size, heavy body, and ability to adapt to a wide range of [[habitats]].
===About Bears===
: '''Bears''' play a dual role in their [[habitats]] and [[ecosystems]] as both apex [[predators]] and [[scavengers]], contributing to natural control of [[prey]] [[species]] and plant [[seed dispersal]].
: '''Bears''' have dense [[fur]].
: They are [[vertebrates]].
: '''Bears''' nurse their offspring with [[milk]].
: '''Bears''' are [[viviparous]], giving birth to [[live young]].
: '''Bears''' are [[homeotherms]], maintaining a stable internal [[body temperature]] regardless of external conditions.
==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
The '''bear''', belonging to the Kingdom [[Animalia]], Phylum [[Chordata]], Class [[Mammalia]], Order [[Carnivora]], Family [[Ursidae]], and various genera, is a large, powerful [[vertebrate]] known for its adaptability to different environments ranging from forests to [[arctic]] ice.
===About Bears===
: '''Bears''' have a [[respiratory system]] that includes [[lungs]] and a [[diaphragm]], allowing for efficient [[gas exchange]] and support during [[hibernation]].
: Their [[digestive system]] can handle a wide range of food, from plants and berries to large [[prey]], due to a versatile stomach and intestines adapted to both plant and [[animal matter]].
: The '''bear''' nervous system, including a large brain, is highly developed, allowing for [[complex behaviours]] such as [[problem-solving]], [[memory]], and [[navigation]].
