The Brown Bear

The Brown Bear is one of the most omnivorous animals in the world and has been recorded as consuming the greatest variety of foods of any bear. They often feed on a variety of plant life, including berries, grasses, flowers, acorns and pine cones as well as fungi such as mushrooms. Among all bears, brown bears are uniquely equipped to dig for tough foods such as roots and shoots. They use their long, strong claws to dig out earth to reach the roots and their powerful jaws to bite through them. They will also commonly consume meat, which may regularly be in the form of insects, larvae and grubs, including beehives. The diet may be supplemented by rodents or similar smallish mammals, including marmots, squirrels, mice, rats, lemmings and voles.

Lemmings are small rodents, usually found in or near the Arctic, in tundra biomes.

A vole is a small rodent resembling a mouse but with a stouter body, a shorter, hairy tail, a slightly rounder head, smaller ears and eyes.
