A female bear called sow. Bears live singly, meeting only in the breeding season. The mating period, depending on the species, occurs at different times of the year. Some species of bears, particularly Malay, can reproduce throughout the year – they live in moist rainforests, where they have enough food.
In addition, the Malayan bear refers to monogamy. After mating, the male and female part. Only the she-bear is engaged in the upbringing of the offspring.
The duration of pregnancy is 180-250 days and depends on the type of bears. The bear brood consists of 1-4 cubs, which appear light blind, toothless, covered with a rare coat. For at least a year they spend in a generic nest, feeding on mother’s milk.
The polar bear never lacks food and therefore does not fall into winter sleep. However, pregnant females and mothers with cubs fall into hibernation. In spring, the bear leaves the den, accompanied by fluffy and playful cubs. The cubs follow it steadily, learn to find food and recognize danger. Bears of various species reach puberty at the age of 2,5-5 years.
