Do bears only eat honey?
A bear’s diet is diverse and they have a wide variety of food options depending on the area the bear lives in.
Generally bears that are omnivores will eat grass, berries, fish, insects, and smaller mammals like deer.
Bears require a high amount of proteins to stay healthy in the wild so their diet changes throughout the year to suit the seasonal offerings.
Not all bears have the same diet either; the spectacled bear is an herbivore so it is likely to consume more honey as its food options are more limited than bears that catch prey.
The giant panda bears diet is the most limited of all as they only eat bamboo! Only around 1% of their diet is made up of other plants and sometimes meat.
