Bears

Bears are typically depicted as cute lovable creatures, whose cuddly bulks have been defined in countless stuffed toys and cute cartoon characters.

From Yogi to Boo-boo, there have been a number of movies and shows which feature bears as their respective central characters, but it is the 1988 released The Bear which stands to be the most unique, having the least amount of human characters and human dialogue involved in the story’s overall plot.

In its telling, The Bear is essentially a movie about a young orphan bear and how the little tyke managed to find the company of an adult male bear, with both bears faced with the challenge of avoiding overzealous hunters.

Though bears aren’t always described to be the most “family oriented” of mammals, cases of bears adopting stray cubs are known to exist, just as case of male bears killing bear cubs are also known to be, commonly occurring with American Black Bears.

In taxonomic terms, bears are part of the Ursidae family, categorized as dog-like carnivores. There are eight currently known living bear species, including bears like the Giant Panda, the Sloth, the Alaskan Brown Bear and more.

As creatures, bears come in different sizes and are found in different habitats scattered in different parts of the world. Mostly solitary, cases of bears hanging around in groups are considered to be rare, and while many are convinced that bears are nocturnal creatures, the truth couldn’t be farther from that “nocturnal” association, with different bear species known to be diurnal and/or crepuscular.

Given the way bears are depicted by today’s standards of cultural trends and movements, they are often defined as bulky cuddly creatures, but the truth about bears is that they are not really all cuddly.

As one of the world’s bigger land mammals, bears continue to be one of the most well known and well loved creatures.
