Ursus

Ursus in Caveam The wind gusted and rain drizzled as Ursus buffed his bronze chestplate until he could see his pale face in the reflection. Illuminated only by shifty candlelight, he hated that he had procrastinated so much; he should have finished his polishing yesterday. Tomorrow, the legios he was in would be deployed to the town of Cestia, where they would defend it from siege by the invading Tejai force. Battle or no battle, the legios commander was viscously strict when it came to keeping armour polished. Finally he finished his chestplate. Ursus sighed. Now came the greaves. Then the armguards, and lastly the helmet. The candle slowly receded, and Ursus faded away into thought. He remembered how his parents’ “cups ran over” with joy when they saw him standing in his armour alongside his legion. It was his first day in the army. His parents were poor tailors, and they didn’t want him to suffer the same way they had to.…

Ursus americanus luteolus, also known as the Louisiana black bear, is a big mammal that can be found along the Lower Mississippi River Valley. This solitary mammal weights between 200 to 400 pounds and it is characterized from other black bears for having a longer, narrower and flatter nose, with larger molar teeth. It has a life cycle similar to many other types of bears; they spend their first couple of years with their mothers. During winters they den, and when they become adults they mate.…

ulperines. A few examples of bears would be the brown bear, polar bear, and the giant panda. The three species I choosed for the research are the Giant Panda (Aliuropoda Melanoleuca), the Polar Bear (Ursus Maritimus Maritimus), and the Tibetan Blue Bear (Ursus Arctos Pruinosus). The Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) are one of the rarest in the Ursidae family, as well one of the most peaceful mammals. They are found in the mountains and bamboo forests in western china; there are as…

American short-faced bears (Arctotherium), and the spectacled bears, Tremarctos, represented by both an extinct North American species (T. floridanus), and the lone surviving representative of the Tremarctinae, the South American spectacled bear (T. ornatus). Fossil of cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) The subfamily Ursinae experienced a dramatic proliferation of taxa about 5.3–4.5 Mya ago, coincident with major environmental changes; with the first members of the genus Ursus also appearing around…

The Polar Bear Due to polar bears swimming everyday they have webbed feet. Polar bears are one of the most interesting animals for many reasons. One reason is where they live. Another reason is the way the polar bear hunts. Lastly, how the animal repopulate. This are some reason why the polar bear are one of the most interesting animals on earth. Polar bears also known as ursus maritius is one of the most dangerous mammals on earth. They are found in the arctic circle which includes…

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) are endangered due to accelerated climate warming, which is affecting sea ice thickness which polar bears rely on for finding food and mates (Elvin 2014). An approach to help support polar bear subpopulations is the Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) methodology. This method is used for assessing, monitoring, and managing ecosystems as well as taking into account of human activities; fishing, pollution, ecosystem health, etc (Elvin 2014). There are seventeen arctic…

Most of the bears live in the poles including the polar bears, the main species of my paper. Most of north lands are covered by ice and snow which restraints behavior of animals at some extent. Also, the white color of the polar bears can be helpful to hide from predator. The polar bears (Ursus maritimus) eat mainly ringed and bearded seals located on the border of the Canadian arctic. Those seals are killed by polar bears during breathing holes depending on the availability of seals in the…

northwestern corner of the state all the way down to the southeastern corner where their habitat including, dense forests, areas near water, open slopes and avalanche chutes during spring green-up ("Black Bear - Ursus Americanus," 2016.) They roam according to the season and food sources—such as dry mountain meadows in the early springtime, while in the summer they can be found near wet meadows, snow slides, and stream bottoms and during the fall , back bear can be seen roaming spots where…

Ursus maritimus, or simply polar bears are one of the few large carnivorous animals that live on earth today. Polar bears are majestic creatures whom live on sea ice habitats of the Arctic Ocean. Their adaptations assist them to survive the cold, harsh weather their habitat has to offer. The polar bears’ fuzzy coat and a thick internal layer of fat help maintain their body temperature at a normal degree from the cold air and water. These interesting creatures are noteworthy swimmers. They tend…

Polar bears, also known as the Ursus maritimus, are mammals that are found in some of the Earth’s harshest environments. They have adapted to surviving in sub-zero temperatures and living on ice. However, these fascinating creatures are being plagued by population loss that is caused by a variety of things, but it is mainly attributed to the disappearance of their icy habitat. To begin with, polar bears are complex creatures. Polar bears are found in Canada, the United States (Alaska),…
