A bear is a large, carnivorous mammal covered in fur that is typically brown or black. They have sharp claws and powerful jaws that they use to hunt and protect themselves from predators. Bears are known for their omnivorous diet, which includes plants, insects, fish, and small animals. They live in a variety of habitats around the world, including forests, tundras, and mountains. There are several different species of bears, including grizzly bears, polar bears, black bears, and panda bears. ### Question: What is the difference between a grizzly bear and a black bear? ### Response: Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) and black bears (Ursus americanus) are two different species of bears found in North America.
