People can find bears in many places in the world. They have large bodies, thick legs but short tails. Bears not only eat meat. They almost eat everything. Bears are not so dangerous as people think them to be. Bears are very brave. Many hunters were killed by bears when they wanted to kill bears.
Bears have very good smell but very poor eyesight. So they usually find something with their noses, not with their eyes. Bears are cleverer than most other animals because they can think of something. They can also walk only with their ―feet‖. They are our friends. We should try our best to protect them. 一、ABCCC
