How are bears so huge? If I ate nothing but berries and salmon I’d probably be really slender.

    I mean, all diets are pretty much protein, fat, and sugar…but bears are eating nearly 20000 calories/day in the fall.

      It astounds me how animals find all that food out in nature. When I go out in nature all I find are non-fruit-bearing trees and bushes and well manicured lawns.

      how they’re able to find 20,000 calories a day 🤯

        That’s why they say “The early bear catches the berry.”
