In both continents, ungulates peak in the diet of bears in spring. Brown bears' preference for 10 species of ungulates increased with body mass of prey. The bear significantly preferred preying upon moose Alces alces throughout its range. Bears were the most important predator of moose and caused, on average, 23% of total natural mortality in moose populations. Brown bear preference for moose and its dominant role in moose mortality suggest an evolutionary predator¿prey relationship between these two species. Brown bears illustrate that even an apparently omnivorous predator can prefer one prey species.]]> Fri 31 May 2019 09:34:02 AEST ]]>
