for this ap, We were told to pick a species, and investigate. Ask three questions (one being quantitative) and then we did research. We had specific assignments corresponding to certain parts of the ap. Ursus arctos (brown bear) will be the subject of my research.
Brown bears are found on all continents. They like forests, mountains, hills, rivers, and heavily vegetated areas. They have brown fur to reduce stress in open light, large paws and claws to open rotted logs where bugs can be found. Brown bears come from Eurasia about 5 million years ago. they were originally small creatures unlike their current selves.. about 15,000 years ago a larger species of bear, was built with long legs and had an overall lighter build, it came around about 1.9 million years ago. It was called the
giant short-faced bear.

How much do brown bears weigh on average? About 793lbs. What makes them so aggressive? They are very defensive and territorial. Brown bears will defend themselves against any perceivable threats. where did they originate? They originated in Europe and Asia, around 5 million years ago. Since then, they have spread out around the world, populating almost every continent. For this ap, we were instructed to create a new habitat for the animal we chose. I'd imagine a well-populated forest, lots of large trees, and rock formations. Bears love these, as they often hold good places for dens, and also opportunities for hunting. Trees, for shelter, or to sharpen their claws on, and population for meals.
Population size: 11
Median: 775
Minimum: 400
Maximum: 1200
First quartile: 550
Third quartile: 1075
Variance = 7,451.1
standard deviation = 86
