• A bear prefers to be alone.
• Bears in captivity don't hibernate. But they do take naps that last for several days.
• Scientists can't understand how a bear can hibernate without expelling waste. If they can figure that out, they say, maybe they can come up with a better treatment for kidney disease.
• Bears in Yellowstone can neatly take the wrappings off sticks of chewing gum.
• The place in the world with the most bears is Denali National Park in Alaska.
• Most bears are left-pawed.
• Davy Crockett claimed to have shot 100 bears but his friends didn't believe him because they knew he couldn't count that high.
