How are bears so huge? If I ate nothing but berries and salmon I’d probably be really slender.

Depends on how much you ate, but similar to us, bears can be omnivores (though they tend to eat more meat type stuff): They’ll eat whatever they can, which can definitely include a lot of berries and fish, but they also eat nuts, roots, insects, honey, carrion, etc.

Depending on the bear species. Most black bears eat more vegetative foods than meats. Many bears are not strong hunters and tend to prefer to scavenge their meat. The exception being fishing.
