Brown bear The brown bear is a large bear with the widest distribution of the ursid species in the whole world. It is found nearly all over Finland, with the greatest population in the eastern parts of the country. The brown bear prefers conifer forests as its habitat. Brown bears are usually solitary. The male and female stay together during the mating season in the summer, and the mother stays with its growing cubs until the birth of the next cubs. The brown bear is active during dusk and night, but can also be seen searching for food during the day. The brown bear is mostly herbivorous. It feeds on berries and soft plants and fungi, but may also eat meat, especially in the spring, when plants are not available. The diet includes also insects and larvae and, of course – honey. Carrion is good for them too. Brown bear The brown bear is a large bear with the widest distribution of the ursid species in the whole world.
