Brown bear
Ursus arctos · خرس قهوهای
Large omnivoreSeasonal foragerForest edge
A powerful omnivore whose year is written in changing foods: roots, fruits, insects, carrion and other resources that appear across forest and mountain seasons.
Ecology.
Brown bears can use forest, scrub, meadow and mountain mosaics. Because their diet changes with season and place, they depend less on one food than on access to a varied landscape with refuge and low conflict.
Diet
Broadly omnivorous and strongly seasonal.
Coexistence
Safe movement and reduced conflict matter where bear range overlaps people.
Archive meaning.
The bear is a reminder that a habitat is not one vegetation type. Large omnivores often need a sequence of seasonal opportunities spread across a whole landscape.
Field note
A brown bear's diet can change dramatically through the year, so the same animal may read a landscape very differently in spring, summer and autumn.
