Description:

The Brown Bear is a carnivore with an omnivorous diet that varies as different foods become available. It will eat plant roots, mosses, bulbs, fruit, seeds and tubercles, as well as fish, insects, fungi and small rodents. Its diet also varies as its populations fluctuate. Its cranium is elongate, robust, with a sagittal crest on the upper part of the skull where the temporal muscles that give its jaws such strength are anchored. Its dentition is bunodont, with numerous rounded molar cusps, as a result of its omnivorous diet; its carnassial teeth are flat, triangular and adapted to grinding up food. It has long hooked canine teeth that are separated from the premolars by a diastema. It has 40?42 teeth with the following dental formula: I 3/3, C 1/1, P 3-4/4, M 2/3.
