The bear eats most things
Bears are true omnivores and eat a lot of berries (eg blueberries and crowberries) that they find in the forest. The bear also eats other kinds of plants and herbs. In the summer, the bears also hunt prey. The Swedish brown bears mainly get hold of elk and reindeer cubs. The bears Ester and Glok who live in the park are very fond of fruit, such as banana and melon. Honey is also a favorite!
Bears hibernate in winter
Before winter, the bear eats up properly and gains a lot of weight. This is so that the bear can survive a whole winter in the ice, when it neither eats nor drinks. Actually, it is wrong to say that "the bear sleeps" when it goes into ide. The body temperature drops and the heart beats more slowly. A bear can lie in its den for many months, and the bear cubs are born in the meantime in the den. They are born around New Year and weigh only 400 grams as newborns. In the nest they grow, and when they leave the nest together with their mother in the spring, they weigh around 4 kilos.
