 A Asian Black Bear is a medium size bear that is a medium size than a Grizzly Bear and its fur is black like the original black bear ( that exits in the USA) its black but in its chest there's a white v chest mark and its jaw is  bigger and more mobile than a Grizzly and its skull is small but massive, an Adult males have skulls measuring 311.7 to 328 mm (12.27 to 12.91 inch), a females skull measures 291.6-315 mm (11.42-12.40 in)  and 



2. Behavior  
The Asian Black Bear are live in family groups of two adults and two children, they can also climb trees and mountains and will climb to feed, sun, relax, fight enemies, and hibernate. They will half of their 15% of their life is in trees which use sticks and leaves to make a small bed for them to give birth , they might not hibernate a lot only in colder places, northern ranges, and lower elevations, they make sounds, roars, groans, and slurping sounds( when eating)  




3.Feeding 
Asian Black Bear are omnivorous, and will feed on insects, beetle, larvae, garbage, mushrooms, fruits, honey, and acorns. Thought their more carnivorous than brown bears, Asian Black Bears are not as specialized in their diet as pandas are, Black Bears will eat pine nuts and acorns of the previous year in April-May period. They will eat monkeys, deer , wild boar , and buffaloes. 


  4.Black Bear VS. Predators
 Asian Black Bears will be occasionally attacked by tigers and brown bears, although  leopards.Packs of wolves are know to kill a fully grown Black Bear and Lynx will kill and eat the  cubs and Black Bear easily could kill a leopard in heavily vegetated lands, while in open  areas, Leopards overpower Black Bears. Brown Bears are known to steal food from Black  Bears, Tigers regularly prey on young bears but are known to kill fully grown Black Bears.

The Beginning of my BLOG

  


           Welcome to my blog !!!!!!



Hello everyone, my name is Alan Sanchez welcome to Animals and Nature this is the first blog I have ever made i really hope you enjoy my blog ! My favorite subjects are science and language arts. I love all the animals , but my favorite is the dog. In my opinion dogs are very interesting because unlike cats(still like cats i have  nothing against them ) they are  very active and playful and royal.



                   The DOG
The Dog has been called the man's best friend and today in 2016, there are 
about 54.4 million people owns a dog and more people are buying this amazing pet because of how loyal,domesticated,and popular, it has become  a source of food.  


1.what is a Dog
Domestic Dog, which is part of the family Canidae which evolved from a wolf -like creature in Eurasia from 40,000 years ago. Which is the oldest domesticated animals with one study claiming for the past 33,000 years,its also the closet cousin of wolfs, and the extinct wolf-like creature. 

2.Size,Fur, and Senses 
The Dogs have a lot of senses and sizes and behaviors. The Chihuahua's weight of a male is 1.8-2.7 (4-6lb) and another breed called Old English  Sheep Dog weights 46k (101 lb). their sense includes vision,hearing,sense of smell,sense of taste, touch, and sensitivity of earth's magnetic field. their fur are two varieties of fur are "double" which is common of dogs who live in colder climates and "single" the breeds that live in warm places. 

3.Lifespan
Dog's that are mixed breeds will have a life span of 1.2 years long which is more than pure breeds and if a dog is heavier it will have a shorter life span than shorter dogs.Ranges from 10 to 30 dogs have died  and pusuke was named world's longest living dog in december 2011. 

4. Diet 
Unlike Wolfs , Dogs are both Carnivorous and Omnivores. Dogs, unlike the Cat Family with its small intestines, Dogs can adapt on any kind of food ( except candy) and can eat vegetables, grains, and meat. 


5. Relationship with humans 
Dogs and Humans have been together for lots of years. They were used by hunting, herding, protection, military, and many more uses. Dogs left impact as " man's best friend", but in some cultures, Dogs are used as a source of food. Dogs are know as companions do to being loyal and playful with adults and children. Dogs are used in India as protectors of their home and are used to clean leftover food scraps. 

6. Conclusion 
Dogs are fascinating animals that scientists still want to discover and help animals
that don't have a home to stay and are out in the streets lonely and hungry, if we 
understand more about dogs then people will not throw them in the streets and
will help dogs to live because their ''man's best friend"
