Bears
Bears can be found all across the earth. They are usually large and strong animals and generally walk on their feet like humans. Bears typically have a large torso, short legs, small round ears, forward facing eyes, and a stub for a tail.
Bears are classified as carnivores, but each species does have different degrees of a herbivorous diet, such as the panda bear which almost always eats plants, and the polar bear which almost always eats meat.
