Mojo 387112 American Black Bear

Bears differ from otherBB carnivoresBB as the special molar teeth that they possess have not specially adapted to shearing meat, but to instead grind down vegetation. However, for such a largeBB animalBB to sustain itself successfully on a predominantly vegetarianBB dietBB the BlackBB BearBB must spend an enormous amount of time eating and is known to consume tens of thousands of nuts and berries in a day. As they spend around half of the day foraging for and eating food, the average BlackBB BearBB consumes a nut or berry every second of this time.
