What Do Bears Eat?

Bears are opportunistic omnivores. This means that they will feed on any animal that they can easily kill and any plant material that is available. Most bears eat more plant material than meat. Two exceptions to this are the Polar Bear, which eats mainly fish, and the Giant Panda, which eats mainly bamboo (bamboo is actually a type of grass). Bears will feed on any animal they can, sometimes eating small insects. They usually attack small animals as they are easier to hunt and kill. So now you know what bears eat- they feed on any plants or animals that are available!
