How are bears so huge? If I ate nothing but berries and salmon I’d probably be really slender.

    If you ate berries and salmon in the quantities bears do, you would absolutely not be very slender. That’s a diet of protein, fat, and sugars.

      I mean, all diets are pretty much protein, fat, and sugar…but bears are eating nearly 20000 calories/day in the fall.

        It astounds me how animals find all that food out in nature. When I go out in nature all I find are non-fruit-bearing trees and bushes and well manicured lawns.

        how they’re able to find 20,000 calories a day 🤯
