  1. The biggest threat to humans: Bears! I dont know I guess they are just one more hunter like lions and bears or something.


  2. The purpose of bears is to make more bears; the same as any other animal.

  3. the same as evrything else in this world duh

  4. because it cant fly

  5. Your question is a little unclear, but it seems like you are asking why they are plantigrade, walking on the entire foot rather than the toes (like dogs and cats) or toenails (hoofs).

    They are plantigrade for the same reasons we are- better balance when walking upright, the ability to walk quietly on many types of terrain, distributing weight over a larger area.  Although bears have lightning reflexes and can run as fast as a horse over short distances, they don't have to chase down most of their "prey" (roots, berries, nuts, vegetation, insects and grubs, and carrion).

  6. The father of a friend of mine told a story about encountering young black bears while deer hunting. He and his friend trying shooing the off by firing guns into the air, but they didn't respond, but when they thumped the ground with a shovel, the bears immediately ran off. That made me think they can sense vibration through their feet, but I don't have any studies to confirm the idea.

  7. i dont know but they were created for a reason

  8. To ask what is the purpose of humans....

  9. Survival, reproduction, mantain the food chain, have fun! What´s your purpose?
