Hello Ed, I have found some information for our project. Please, read this information. Russia has different plants and animals. The brown bear is one of the most famous animals in Russia. These animals usually living in forests or tundra can be seen in Alaska, and in many parts of Russia. The number of bears does not change but people have to protect these animals. At the food chain, brown bears play important roles as predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) which keep the populations of other animals under control. Brown bears are dangerous animals and they can attack people. It is not a good idea to keep brown bears as pets. Human activities are dangerous for the population of brown bears. People often hunt brown bears as the trophy. People cut down trees in forests and destroy places where bears live. There are other bears in Russia too. Polar bears live mostly on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean. A polar bear has a thick layer of body fat and a coat which protect it from cold air and water. Scientists say that these animals are marine (connected with the sea because they spend most of their lives on the sea ice. Polar bears are known for their strength, but they're quite speedy, too. The average young adult polar bear can run at up to 25 miles per hour or around 40 kilometers per hour. Younger adult polar bears are faster than older bears, as they do not have as much fat as adult bears. Despite having a big body, bears are good swimmers and even reach six miles per hour by moving with their front paws and holding their back legs flat to control their movement. The main diet of a polar bear is meat. They spend almost 50% of the time hunting for the food. They need to hunt as much as they can because they need a lot of fat to survive. Polar bears are the top of the food chain and have an important role in the food chain. I hope you will like this information and our project will be interesting. See you soon. Bye, Jane A.
