Alejandro: Mexican Grizzly Bear*
Ursus arctos nelsoni - now Ursus arctos horribilis
*depiction of what a mexican grizzly bear may have looked like alive
A now extinct subspecies of the grizzly bear that once inhabited northern Mexico. Due to its predation on cattle farms, they were considered pests and hunted by farmers. By the 1960s there were less than 30 individuals remaining. In 1974 the last known individual was shot in Sonora.
It was smaller than grizzly bears from the United states and Canada, and its colouration was said to range from a pale yellow to greyish-white with a darker undertone, though some individuals were described to be darker and reddish brown.
Due to its silvery fur, it was called 'el olso plateado' (the silvery bear) in Spanish, though it's name in the Ópatas language (an indigenous Mexican people's) was 'pissini'.
Rudy: Spectacled Bear "Andean Bear"
Tremarctos ornatus
The last remaining short-faced bear, native to the Andes Mountains in northern and western South America. Though all bears are omnivores, the spectacled bear has a mostly herbivorous diet with only 5-7% of their diet being meat.
The bear is named after it's distinctive eye markings, though not all spectacled bears may have such markings. Individuals can have highly variable fur patterns making it relatively easy to distinguish from one another.
It's short face and broad snout is thought to be an adaptation to a carnivorous diet despite it's herbivorous preferences.
Paddington Bear is said to be a Spectacled Bear from Peru.
Farah: Asian Black Bear "Moon Bear"
Ursus thibetanus
A medium sized bear native to Asia and highly adapted to arboreal life. It can be found in parts of Korea, China, Japan, eastern Russia, the Himalayas, southeastern Iran and northern India. It is listed as vulnerable due to deforestation and poaching for its body parts (used in traditional medicines).
The name 'moon bear' is given due to its distinctive creamy white cresent fur patch, though in some individuals it is "V" shaped. It has a powerful upper body stronger than it's lower limbs and are known to be the most bipedal of bears.
It has a reputation for extreme aggression despite their reclusive nature and there have been documented reports of unprovoked attacks. They are said to be more aggressive than the Eurasian Brown Bears that may cohabit the same areas and the American Black Bear.
Alex: American Black Bear
Ursus americanus
Alongside the Brown Bear, it is one of the only Bear species not threatened with extinction.
Despite living in North America, it is more closely related to the Asian Black Bear and Sun Bear than Grizzly Bears (North American Brown Bears) and Polar Bears. It's ancestors are thought to have split off from the Sun Bear.
Black Bears are distinguished from Grizzly Bears who may cohabit the same area, with their longer tall ears, straight face profile, shorter claws and lack of distinctive hump.
Teddy bears, Winnie-the-Pooh, and Smokey Bear are all inspired by the American Black Bear.
Nikolai: Polar Bear
Ursus maritimus
A large bear native to the Arctic. It is closely related to the Brown Bear and can hybridise with them though this is rare and not often seen. (See Grolar Bears)
They are the most carnivorous of all bear species (hypercarnivores), specialising in hunting seals through ambush attacks. Polar Bears are usually solitary but can be found in groups on land. They can form stable 'alliances' based on dominance hierarchies outside of breeding seasons with the largest males at the top.
It's common name was given in 1771, and was previously referred to as 'white bear', 'ice bear', 'sea bear', 'Greenland bear' in 13th - 18th century Europe. The Netsilik cultures (Inuit) named it 'nanook' and have several additional different names for them depending on sex and age of the polar bear.
Laswell: Kodiak Bear "Kodiak/Alaskan Brown Bear"
Ursus arctos middendorffi
Named after it's habitation of the Kodiak Archipelago in southwest Alaska, the Kodiak bear is the largest subspecies of Brown Bear, with some individuals comparable to the Polar Bear in size.
An island bear, it is 1.5-2x larger than it's mainland cousins the grizzly bear, though physically and physiologically, the two bears are very similar.
Due to its tendancy to feed in dense groups, it has thought to have developed more complex social behaviours (in comparison to mainland grizzly bears) to minimise infighting/fatalities via both verbal/ body posturing and social structures.

It's world bear day today!
to celebrate, here's a picture and a few quick facts for every species of bear (in no particular order, and Definitely not ranked from my favorite species to my least favorite).
there are eight species of bears total, some with their own subspecies. bears are spread throughout the world in diverse habitats- from the frigid arctic to the tropical rainforests of south america.
1. BROWN BEARS
Brown bears are the second largest species of bear. Brown bear subspecies include (but are not limited to) kodiak bears, grizzly bears, and Eurasian brown bears. All brown bears are omnivores, and their diets largely depend on their habitats. Kodiak bears are the largest subspecies of brown bears and are the second largest bears in the world.
2. SPECTACLED BEARS
Spectacled bears are largely herbivores, but they will eat birds and small animals should the opportunity arise. They are the last surviving short-faced bear (genus Tremarctos). Classified as a vulnerable species, there are an estimated 6,000 to 10,000 mature spectacled bears remaining in the wild.
3. BLACK BEARS
Black bears are the most common and widespread bears in North America. They're omnivorous and have a variety of coat colors (including black, cinnamon, blue, and white). Like all bears, black bears have an excellent sense of smell.
4. SLOTH BEARS
Sloth bears eat mostly ants, termites, and fruits. They have a flexible lips to help them 'suck up' insects, as well as long claws used to tear open termite mounds. Sloth bears are highly specialized for their mostly insectivorous diets.
5. POLAR BEARS
Polar bears are the largest bear species. They are the only species of bear classified as semi-aquatic - they're excellent swimmers, and can hold their breath for up to two minutes. Feeding mostly on seals, polar bears are the most carnivorous of all bears and are opportunistic hunters (as their food source is scarce).
6. MOON BEARS
Also known as Asiatic black bears, moon bears spend most of their time in the trees. They have a distinct white (often V-shaped) patch on their chests. They have relatively large ears. Moon bears eat mostly plants and have strong upper bodies and hooked claws used to climb trees.
7. SUN BEARS
The smallest of all bear species, sun bears have distinctive wrinkly skin and short fur. Specialized in eating insects, their long claws are used for digging in search of colonies and for tearing open nests. Sun bears are known to seek out beehives in search of honey and larvae. They have long tongues that they use to get to insects and honey in hard to reach places.
8. PANDAS
Pandas survive on a diet of mostly bamboo. Extremely rare in the wild, pandas live exclusively in bamboo forests. They have very distinct black and white patched fur. Pandas have evolved a specialized 'thumb' for grasping bamboo stalks - this 'thumb' is actually a digit-like wrist bone and is not one of their actual digits.
