Bears differ from other carnivores in that the specialized molar teeth they possess are not specially adapted for tearing flesh, but for grinding vegetation instead. However, for such a large animal to successfully survive on a predominantly vegetarian diet, the Black Bear must spend an enormous amount of time eating and is known to consume tens of thousands of nuts and berries a day. Considering they spend about half their day foraging and eating food, the average black bear consumes a nut or berry every second. Keyring size: 6 x 2.25 x 4.25 cm
