Asiatic black bear — size comparison — facts and sources
The Asiatic black bear inhabits Asian deciduous forests, mixed forests and mountain scrub. Large rounded ears, a pale muzzle and a cream chest marking distinguish it. It is more lightly built than the brown bear and lacks such a pronounced shoulder hump.
An accomplished climber, it usually lives alone and is often active at night. Fruit, nuts and shoots dominate its diet, supplemented by insects, honey and occasional meat. It can build platforms from broken branches in trees, using them for resting or feeding.
Źródła podają 70–100 cm w barku oraz 60–200 kg dla samców; Animal Diversity Web wskazuje typowe 110–150 kg. Na planszy przyjmujemy 85 cm, środek zakresu wysokości. Gatunek jest świetnym wspinaczem i większość pożywienia stanowią rośliny, mimo przynależności do drapieżnych.
