My grandparents owned a lake property and we would pass by this dump on the way there. There would be like 10 or so black bears sitting on the piles of garbage. They gave no shits about the people throwing their garbage on the piles. One time when we were driving by there was a bear on the side of the road. My crazy grandma decides this is the right time to get out and start taking pictures. She is like 10 feet away from it, just snapping pictures. The bear just seemed oblivious to her presence.
I'd take a big male polar bear over a hippo. Granted walrus aren't hippo's but they're also huge with giant teeth.

Polar and grizzly bears are awesome. Black bears are skittish little scared wannabes.
Black bears in Northern Canada have actually responded to wolf packs and human predation by grouping up - so unlike grizzly/polar bears who need to enforce their space because they are big and alone, black bears are essentially changing to the wolf model.
Lone black bears are usually wimps, but groups of them don't give a f--k about anything.
Bears r awesome because they r so intelligent, well except for pandas they dumb af but cuteness makes up for it, anyways brown bears will go to the beach n turn over stones n find sea food, how many animals r dat creative??
Sometimes bears need helps though...

At least one part of Japan agrees that bears are awesome, but only with a melon head.

Oh man, tell me about it. I had a roommate during law school who was EXTREMELY ANGRY about my views on bears (aka that they are wild animals, also that I believed in things like having a gun or carrying bear mace when out camping). She was under the impression that most bears are sweet and gentle creatures who won't attack unless provoked. Haha.
I mean, she's not entirely wrong regarding provocation, but animals get hungry and they are also territorial. Provocation to a territorial animal can occur just by walking by their territory, or a food source.
Thats why California is the greatest. Look at our flag...BAM! a huge fucking bear.
This thread is so weird but damnit, I love bears too!
WoW players love their bear puns, that much I gather
I gotta say, when it comes to bears, I'm a fan of kermode bear/spirit bear, a subspecies of the American black bear:
It really just feels majestic and such.
And if you want raw destructive power, I think the pizzly bear would do nicely. The pizzly bear is a hybrid of a polar bear and grizzly bear. I could mess up a ton of other animals, but it's also majestic (in its own way, like cool but don't bite my face off kind of way).

Bears do not hibernate. They can't, because they're warm blooded. Only cold blooded animals can hibernate. Bears do reduce their activity and sleep a lot during the winter. And they eat a lot and get fat beforehand so they won't need to eat as much. But that is not hibernation.
yeah no, Bears > lions and alligators,
I think it was the colliseum , where they used to have animal fights, they brought in animals from all over the world. but they stopped bringing in bears, you know why? they always won, no matter what they put the bear up against, it just wasnt a fun fight.
I've no idea what to write here.
