Bears
Bears are some of the most lovable large carnivores in the world, often the subject of childhood tales and treasured as teddy bears. It's a strange association, given that they are also on the shortlist of animals known to hunt and kill humans. Grizzlies and polar bears are the most feared, but all large species of bear can potentially be dangerous — even the vegetarian giant panda.

Pandas are in fact more closely related to the raccoon family than that of the bear family. do you're research reporter
Bears are not dangerous to people that don't react in a stupid manner. If you as a human run up to a bear and try to attack it, yes there is a possibility of death. However, the only deaths that have occurred from a bear have been out in deep wilderness. Bears avoid humans for the most part. In the areas they encounter humans on a regular basis, attacks just don't occur. It's the bears who have never met a human that are more likely to attack, and even then you are doing something very.... More
Bears weren't really needed on this report because we all already know they could kill us, that's why we all fear them past the age of 6 when going on hikes and such. And we all already know that they are semi-cute, and much smaller synthetic stuffed ones help us to sleep at night, but the real life sized ones are deadly. However, black bears aren't really deadly unless you find yourself face to face with one that isn't running away.
wrong bears are not carnivores bears are omnivores.
You are absolutely right.
However, in their defense, they're probably just reporters with the story and are probably not even animal novices, much less, experts. But I only agree with you because, in my opinion, even if animal experts were to say I was wrong, I classify anything that intentionally forages plants for food makes those plants part of their diet. And since bears do this with plants and meat, they are omnivores in my book, and I wouldn't even care what the experts say, I would.... More
Who would mess with a bear?
BEARS are omnivores NOT carnivores, there are very few TRUE carnivores (an animal that can only digest MEAT.. cats and ferrets are two of them)
NUMBER ONE THREAT TO AMERICA
More hunters campers and hikers are killed by members of the deer family in a year... this family includes DEER, MOOSE, ELK, CARIBOU. Members of the Cervidae family are not aggressive however they just defend thier lives and and young.
That was a reference to the Colbert Report. (I would have been disappointed if nobody had said it!)
Since when bears hunt humans????
That's more the opposite in my opinion
Polar Bears are the only know "Bears" (Ursidae family) to actively hunt humans. Most other bears will steer away from humans unless threatened by foolish humans. They are classified as carnivores because they depend mostly on raw meat as there main diet. There are always exceptions within every family and within the Ursidae family there are exceptions such as the Giant Panda (which is a subspecies of the Ursidae family).
I believe everyone should have accurate information, child and.... More
I always always wanted a bear, but my parents would never get me one, we got a dog instead...
hehehe the bear is havin a staring contest with da tree

Bears have a bad rap due to people misunderstanding and hunting magazines/taxidermist depictions.
For REAL facts on bears, there is an amazing site www.bear.org that provides facts and research regarding all North American bears and helps to dispel the myths.
Don't go out in the woods today,
That's where dangerous bears lay,
They don't eat porridge they eat people.
Believe when I tell you, to not play with bears.
for me all animals that are large plus are carnivores, are all scary and deadly...
in exemption, pandas are oh so hugable!!
OMNIVORES, like dogs, skunks, raccoons, HUMANS. They are not Carnivores. Bears eat plant matter and can digest it as well as meat matter. There are very few true OBLIGATE CARNIVORES, two of them are you basic house cat and ferrets.
Large animals are almost always deadly. All bears are dangerous, even those domesticated for zoos and whathaveyou. Pandas, too, of course. All bears look cuddly, but I wouldn't attempt to get a hug haha
C'mon now u say pandas can kill u... They have a tendency to grab things that they find interesting... But to say they I say they're are killers, it's just off... The biggest killer in the world is mankind, and we are more of a threat to pandas than they are to us.
That is true about humans. Pandas are dangerous though.
that looks like my dog with stubby legs
I LOVE BEARS
Bears can smell the Menstruation
The author did not say Pandas are Herbivores, he said Vegetarian. Pandas do primarily vegetation because they are not very adept hunters, although they are capable of digesting meat. Similarly to human vegetarians, although they CAN eat meat, they don't.
And Giant Pandas are bears (of the family Ursidae), but they are distantly related to racoons. Red Pandas are in a family by themselves (Aluridae) and are related to both bears and racoons, but are classified as neither.
Similarly to the CULLENS. Altough their kind drink human blood, they don't. I wonder how it is when Edward and Bella cuddle and snuggle in bed while Bella has her period! hehehe
Bears get there name from a football team in Chicago. Bears arent parsay a people person. Bear attacks on salmon are in the thousands while salmon attacks on bears are fewer
aye person who wrote pandas are not vegiterian they eat meat when they get the chance which is very rare. if u didnt know panda stomachs were meant to digest meat, but when they eat bamboo they can only absorb like 20percent of the energy. so pandas are omnivores
What exactly is this supposed to mean. Anything could jack you up if there are enough of them. Fire ants can jack you up if you get stung enough times.
Hello people i know a red panda is related to racoons and a giant panda won't atack you Mr.inestine they eat chinese giant bambo grass just to make it easy to understand bambo is grass and chisnes giant bambos are very tall and hard grass okay Mr.inestine
While bears are members of the carnivora order; they are in fact omnivores. All eat berries and other plants.
Albert you are ******* dumb. A giant panda IS a bear. Red pandas are closely related to raccoons. Look it up Mr. Attenborough. Get your facts straight before you get all excited about a lame article.
Pandas are most closely related to raccoons!
