Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Peter, I have ta bite me tongue here er else Fraggle will take a swipe at me Soooo..... Polar Bear I.Q. Success at hunting seals may not be measured on a standard I. Q. test, but scientist Alison Ames considers it a sign of the polar bear's brain power. As part of a study funded by the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare, Ames researched the behavior of captive polar bears in British zoos. She has seen her subjects stack heaps of pipes that they later knock over in elaborate games. She has also watched them smash open ice blocks in order to extract imbedded fish. Her conclusion: the great white bears are just as smart as apes. " This is learned behavior and reveals that polar bears are very intelligent animals, " Ames told the London Observer. " They are highly cognitive creatures that top the food chain in polar regions. You have to be very clever to do that. Hunting and trapping a seal is no easy matter. " Because of the polar bear's intelligence, Ames favors a move away from the concrete cages of the past. " [Polar bears] respond well to stimulating environments, " she says. " They like areas of sand, grass, and hard ground in their enclosures. " BLACK BEARS Black bears are characterized as shy, secretive animals possessing considerable curiosity and displaying high levels of intelligence and exploratory behavior. Black bears are generally active in the early morning and late evening; they may alter their activity pattern to exploit sources of artificial food, becoming nocturnal at camp grounds and dump sites. Nuisance activities are nearly always associated with artificial food sources (beehives, campgrounds, and livestock). GRIZZLY OR BROWN BEARS Brown or Grizzly bears have adapted to diverse habitats; from the Arctic tundra to the edges of the Gobi Desert. Wherever they live though, they have the same requirements as other animals; adequate food, shelter, protection from predators, and the opportunity to find a mate and produce offspring. Although tigers, wolves, and mountain lions may have the ability to kill brown bears (especially cubs) their only real enemy is man. And men are such effective killers of bears that even though an area may have everything else that brown bears need, if it is easily accessible to people, brown bears will probably not use it. The exception to this is in areas where bears are totally protected such as National Parks. In these areas, where bears have not learned to immediately fear humans, they are able to coexist with man.\par }{\plain \tab Bears are very intelligent animals; the experience of zookeepers and animal trainers indicate that they are smarter than dogs. This intelligence has enabled them to live in extreme environmental conditions and to exploit and learn an encyclopaedic array of food species and local places. They spend several years with their mother learning from her what plants are good to eat and where to find them. They also learn by themselves from experimentation. Orphaned cubs have learned how to catch and eat salmon on their own. By the time that subadult bears leave their mothers and take off on their own they know what plant foods are available at each time of the season, and they know what habitats are likely to have those foods over a very large area. As they leave their mothers and move into new areas they learn and remember where food is available. This knowledge is critical. Food sources change drastically from year to year depending upon weather and climate. A grizzly bear is often required to remember a type of food and where it was found that it may have last encountered ten or more years earlier. nikki <well u asked!> , " Peter " <Snowbow@b...> wrote: > Hi Nikki > > > i know i'm smarter than the avergae bear > > Y'know - I've always wondered....how smart *is* the average bear? > > BB > Peter > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hi Nikki > oh wait, > who's Dangermouse? You must know about Dangermouse? Surely you have Dangermouse in the US? Well, in case not: he's a mouse with an eye patch who lives in a postbox (mailbox for the US folk) in Downing Street with his sidekick: a mole called Penfold who once had to give his eyebrows to a Martian to save the Earth from destruction. They get their missions from a badger (I think he's a badger) called Colonel K. > and is he really dangerous? That depends if you happen to be an evil toad! Just to clarify - Dangermouse's arch enemy is Baron Greenback - an evil toad with a pet fluffy albino caterpillar called Nero. His sidekick is a crow with an Italian accent called Stilleto. Ocassionally Count Duckula - the vegetarian vampire duck - crops up! Count Duckula later got his own series! Now do you understand who agent 57 is? BB Peter --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
