* Bears prefer forested environments: Bears are generally adapted to living in forests where they have access to plenty of food (berries, nuts, insects, small animals) and shelter.
* Grasslands lack the resources bears need: Grasslands typically lack the dense undergrowth, tall trees, and diverse food sources that bears rely on.
While you might occasionally see a bear wandering through a grassland, it's not their preferred habitat. They are more likely to be found in areas with forests or wooded areas nearby.
