Distribution
They are found in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. A small population of brown bears in the Pyrenees Mountains on the border of Spain and France.
Habitat
The Gobi bear, found exclusively in Mongolia's Gobi Desert, is the world's rarest brown bear.
Description
Small compared to other brown bear subspecies, Gobi bears are the only bears that have evolved and adapted to living in such extreme hot desert climates. The Gobi bear population is restricted to 23,600 km2 (9,100 sq mi) in areas that are in close proximity to water sources (Reynolds et al. 2010, Luvsamjamba et al. 2016), and the population is isolated from other populations by inhospitable low elevation deserts, pastoral activities, and human settlements.[4]
Size
adult males weigh about 96.0–138.0 kg (211.6–304.2 lb) and females about 51.0–78.0 kg (112.4–172.0 lb).[7]
Diet
Gobi bears mainly eat roots, berries, and other plants, sometimes rodents; there is no evidence that they prey on large mammals. The diet of a Gobi Bear is only about 8% animal protein.[6]
Hibernation
Reproduction and development
Gobi bears are separated by enough distance from other brown bear populations to achieve reproductive isolation.
