THE BROWN BEAR
THE BROWN BEAR
If you take a trip as planned,
Far out into the woodland,
A brown bear you might meet
And need to make a quick retreat.
Aggressiveness is not a trait
Unless him you aggravate.
But caution use around the Brown bear,
In case you should give him a scare,
Or take along a food fare,
You might find he wants to share.
Another danger apart from grub
Is a mother with her cub.
But if respected from afar,
Wonderful these creatures really are.
The Brown Bear is an omnivore,
Mostly this is herbivore.
A mix of berries, nuts and such
Then some fish and meat, a touch.
Grass if there is nothing more,
And then he goes off to snore.
The brown bear in winter hibernates,
Eating this then obliterates.
He eats a lot before his sleeps,
Then his heart rate low he keeps.
Mother bear will have her bubs,
One to four gorgeous cubs.
These babies stay two years or three,
After that they go forth free.
A brown bear likes to live alone,
But only after they are grown.
A baby cub can climb a tree,
But adults are too heavy you’ll agree,
480 kilos they can weigh,
And over two metres stretched out lay.
With their large size still very fast,
At fifty kilometres can run past.
The average lifespan is 25 years,
Unless mankind his habitat clears.
Another threat is that of hunting,
And these poor bears confronting.
These creatures need to be protected,
A little feared but most respected.
With education could this be corrected?
And peacefulness reflected.

The bears deserve a poem. They are poetry of life, It is a plantigrade animal. This means that when you walk, you support all your weight on the soles of your feet, just as we do people. You can walk on two legs, although you prefer not to do so and leave that posture for special occasions, like a fight or defend your territory.
The bears are solitary, except when the females are in heat. At that moment their priorities change and they look for the best female to mate. After the first litter, it will take three years to see another, and in each will be born a maximum of three offspring, which does not favor the development of the breed.
They are not tied to any female, they are polygamous, so it is possible that in the same time of the females' estrus they mate with several. Once they have done so, they can remain close to the female at the time of pregnancy, but then they will return to their solitude and independence, qualities that characterize it. I congratulate you, beautiful, I was captivated by the photos

STOPOh, they are just gorgeous. Anyone that would enjoy hunting such amazing animals must be pure evil. Just as you say, we need to respect them. Another awesome poem.

Question: What kind of Bear is best?
I like how you made an intro, how to they behave and how we should behave around them and then a call to not hunt them. We really should educate and inform people more that we should not hunt them. Every animal has a role in balancing nature.
I haven't seen a bear yet. If I would encounter one, I would probably take a selfie with it :D
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I have not seen a bear (in the wild) before. I have only seen them in the zoo.
You haven't? Interesting. The way you put the words together you seem to have an encounter of it all the time. Nicely done!
