What is "ursidae"?

Ursidae is a family of mammals commonly known as bears. Bears are large, carnivorous or omnivorous mammals found in various habitats across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. They are known for their iconic appearance, with a stocky body, shaggy fur, and a distinctive snout. Bears have a strong sense of smell and are excellent swimmers. They are typically solitary animals, although some species, like the American black bear, are known to be more social. Bears play important ecological roles as top predators, and they are also revered in many cultures around the world for their cultural significance and symbolism. Bears are highly adaptable and have been able to thrive in a wide range of environments, although many species are currently facing threats due to habitat loss, hunting, and other human activities.
