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.

Bear Sloth

Many children’s stories have been turned into movies by Walt Disney. One such story is the classic compilation of novels by Rudyard Kipling called the Jungle Book. In the animated movie based on the book, a boy named Mowgli grows up in the jungles of India with wolves. Together with a black panther named Bagheera and the bear sloth Baloo, he fights for his life against an evil tiger named Shere Khan.

One of the main characters of the movie is the fun loving bear sloth Baloo. Bear sloths are very common in the Indian jungles, going also by the name of labiated bears. They are nocturnal insectivores, meaning they are most active at night and live off insects and other small, similar creatures. Many scientists have traced the bear sloth’s heritage to the brown bear. Unlike the black and brown bears however, a bear sloth has a lankier build. They have long, rough, shaggy coats, which form a mane around their neck. They also have claws that are sickle-shaped, make it easier for them to scoop out bugs, while their lower lips are specially adapted for sucking the insects out of their nets, thus making them very close to sloths.  They feed during early spring through summer time and have their babies during the start of winter.

Bear sloths mostly live off honeybee colonies, fruits and termites. There are very few known bear sloth attacks on humans, but these bears can actually get very aggressive if provoked or if they are protecting their territory or cubs. Unfortunately, the bear sloth’s natural habitats have been drastically reduced by human development. Poachers and hunters have also reduced their population due to excessive hunting for their claws and baculum. Many have also captured these bears and placed them in circus and shows because they are very easy to tame.

Bears

Bears have taken a popular spot in a number of animated classic features and cartoons, with Yogi Bear and his ever-loyal sidekick Boo boo, being among the most famous and popular.

First appearing as a supporting character in the Hanna-Barbera produced The Huckleberry Hound Show in 1958, Yogi eventually got to have his own show which eventually came out with a string of supporting characters like Boo Boo, Cindy Bear and Ranger Smith.

In 2010, a real live/CGI feature Yogi Bear feature was produced, featuring the voice talents of Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake and Anna Faris. The movie, though featuring a more than 50 year old character, didn’t exactly become the Hollywood breakthrough which was expected to be.

To the tune of most cartoon personalities of the time, Yogi’s personality was based on the personality on the Ed Norton character of The Honeymooners.

As a bear, his penchant for “stealing picnic baskets” is very well established, one which has played a pivotal role in the development of the series central plot. Bears, in real life, are notorious for “raiding” the food supplies of campers or natural park picnickers, but this “bear aspect” isn’t driven by the mischief and hunger drives which motivate Yogi.

Hunger remains to be the main motivation why bears often raid picnic baskets and such, oftentimes causing fear and distress among picnickers.

Generally, bears don’t attack people unless they are provoked, and as natural creatures, they are known to use their massive size to intimidate, rather than to attack. Feeding the bears in national parks are not a good idea, since this would only encourage them to frequent designated picnic areas and facilities.

Should you ever find yourself in a natural park picnic situation, verify the presence of bears in a given zone/area with park rangers before spreading your picnic blanket. Though most designated picnic areas are fenced to keep bears out, there’s the off chance of a bear managing to find a way in, which would result to a “Yogi bear” scenario, where picnic baskets get swiped.

Polar bear

Polar Bear

As the name implies Polar Bears live in areas surrounding the North Pole, on which is the Arctic Ocean (there are no polar bears in Antarctica). Polar bears are relatives of the brown bear, but much larger—in fact, polar bears, along with Kodiak bears, are the biggest land carnivores living today.

Their main diet are seals, which they catch when these seals are trying to reach for air above the ice. Polar bears locate the ice holes and the seals using their very keen sense of smell. Polar bears also feed on walruses whenever they can. Polar bears are also good swimmers but they don’t usually swim when hunting.

Polar bears have become physically adapted to living in the polar regions, evolving snowy fur, large paws with traction, and a thick skin so it can withstand even frigid water.
