Abstract

dc:description

The North American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) fasts for five months in the winter. While maintaining body temperature at 35$\sp\circ$C, the bear requires no food or water and does not urinate or defecate. Anabolic functions such as protein synthesis and bone remodeling continue. Female bears complete gestation, parturition and lactation.
