Fun Fact!
Did you know that in many bear species, males are significantly larger than females? This size difference, known as sexual dimorphism, is particularly pronounced in species like the brown bear, where males can weigh up to 30% more than their female counterparts. This adaptation helps males compete for mates and assert dominance during the breeding season, while females remain smaller, potentially aiding their agility and efficiency in foraging and caring for cubs. This fascinating trait underscores the diverse evolutionary strategies bears have developed to thrive in various environments.
