Details
 The Formosan black bear is endemic to Taiwan. They do not hibernate, and make temporary nests instead of living in the same place. The Formosan black bear has long claws to climb trees and a thick pad on their paws to disperse their weight. 80% of their food comes from plants, because plants are easier to get in the wild. They are so smart that can get the maximum energy in any kind of environment in a very short time.
