This was a good overview of bears, how we’ve thought about them in the past and how we interact with them today.

Interesting:
- bile from bears and human medical use.
- polar bears and brown bears can mate together (pizzly bear)
- some brown bears are black and some black bears are brown??
- sloth bears are very deadly. Not so sloth
- interesting that bear hunting is part of “manifest destiny” type attitude, which crops up again today.
- cloud bears in Andes are losing their habitat
