Does a bear eat plants and animals?

Yes, bears are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals. Their diet varies depending on the species of bear and the availability of food in their environment.

Some plants that bears eat include berries, fruits, nuts, roots, grasses, and shoots. They also eat insects, fish, rodents, rabbits, deer, elk, and carrion (dead animals).

The proportion of plants and animals in a bear's diet can change depending on the season and habitat. For example, during the summer, bears may eat more berries and fruits, while during the fall, they may eat more nuts and fish.
