Xiong Dahe Xiong Er is actually an Asian brown bear, which exists in Northeast China. Moreover, the story of Xiong Er, the great bear, originally happened in the northeast, so this Asian brown bear is the most likely. This kind of bear only exists in Northeast Asia, so it is easy to distinguish it, while the fur of the bear in Xiong Er is only a little deeper. Of course, the colors of Asian brown bears are not that different.
Asian brown bears don't mean all brown bears are brown. There are other brown bears, some are light yellow brown, and the deepest fur is close to black. Moreover, Asian brown bears are very big and strong, and they like to eat very much. Whether it is small insects, plants, fish or even smaller mammals, they can all become food for Asian brown bears.
So Xiong Er's statement that big bears only like honey is untrue. But in autumn, Asian brown bears prepare for the accumulation of fat in winter. At this time, brown bears like to eat some sweets. In addition to honey in bears, fruit will also become the favorite food of Asian brown bears, because high sugar content is good for storing fat.
In winter, Asian brown bears will return to their caves and try to stay in a warm place to rest and sleep. But Asian brown bears don't really hibernate in winter. It will actually wake up, but it won't go out when the temperature is too low. If the temperature outside is warmer, Asian brown bears will still go out for food.
