A Grizzly Bear Fact
Did you know that the grizzly bear can weigh up to 800lbs(about 363 kg)and reach heights of up to 8 foot when standing on its rear legs? With such mass and size you would expect it to be extremely slow but despite such size it can sprint at speeds as high as 40km/h which is faster than an olympic athlete.

The Giant Panda
Pandas are quite interesting. It's interesting to see them eat their bamboo. Biting it and trying to get a piece off it to eat. You can see them in zoos, probably in Asia, Australia, Europe, or North America.Pandas are also known as Ailuropoda melanoleuca, literally meaning "black and white cat-foot."
Their Hibernation
The black bear can survive for about 100 days without eating, drinking, urinating,defecating, or exercising. Isn't that interesting? I mean how can it's body still work?
These bears pack on food for preparation for their hibernation. They'd then find a place where they'd hibernate for the winter.
Scientists have wondered how these black bears can sleep for that long and survive without water? Why doesn't hunger force it to wake up and search for food? What triggers it to enter and leave its den? Maybe one day they shall find out.
