Asiatic Black Bear
Asiatic Black Bear
(Selenarotos thibetanus)
There are about 12 different kinds of bears in the world, but the
one that I think stands out the most is the Asiatic Black bear. This
bear lives in the southern part of Asia. Its range is from the
northern tip of China to the central part of Russia. Although this
bear isn't very big, it is very fierce. It is about five feet tall
and 1.5 meters in length. It weighs about 250-300 pounds depending
upon where it is located in Asia. The northern Asian Black bears are
a little bit larger than the ones south of them. This is because of
the colder climate. They need the extra bulk to stay warm. These
bears have three different names: Moon bear, Himalayan bear, and
Asiatic Black bear. The most common name they go by is Asiatic Black
bear.
Most of the time these bears are calm and gentle, but they are
known to be fierce as well. There are reports that this bear has
killed cattle, sheep, and on occasion man. The bear probably didn't
attack the man on purpose because they are afraid of man. It was most
probably a provoked attack.
When winter comes to Asia, the Moon bear finds a den and falls
asleep. This bear doesn't really hibernate though because it doesn't
sleep very long. It is special because before it goes to sleep, it
makes its own bed to sleep on out of twigs and grass.
This bear mostly eats meat and vegetation. During its life time it
may have 15 cubs. It is also very fond of honey. When it finds honey
in the wild, it will stop at nothing to get the honey from the bees.
This bear has a population of about 25,000 in Asia. The future of
this bear looks great.
