have to admire morgan from Twitter X's, um, creativity in thinking there might be 20-30 bear species.
let's think....brown, American black, Andean (aka spectacled), polar, sloth, sun, Asian black, giant panda.
can understand people thinking it might be *slightly* more than that if they don't realise US grizzly bears are the same species as brown bears. And that Kodiak bears are a sub-species of same.
Not making it any better, Ailsa, but I saw a couple of bears in Ontario.

LAKE MARY, Fla. (WFLA) — A three-legged bear known locally as Tripod was caught on camera breaking into a home in Lake Mary, Florida over the weekend and helping itself to some snacks and adult beverages.
Faneite-Diglio told the news station that Tripod had some fish food that was left next to their fish tank and then proceeded to the bar.
“He took three White Claws, drank, and left very happy. His favorite flavor is mango and strawberry,” Faneite-Diglio told WESH.

I recently saw a picture of a bear with tapeworms. Many many tapeworms. They were at least six feet long and trailing behind her protruding right from her butt. It was horrible.

Sorry. If I saw it - you all have to at least read about it. Google at your own risk.
Why does that surburban kitchen need a camera in it?
(Well I guess they had a b&e so it makes sense to try and protect their frozen foods.)

the bear seems to know right where to look, and how to open a freezer

Tourist Mauled After Rolling Down Window For Bear Selfie
A Scottish tourist is thankful to be alive after a close encounter with a wild bear sent her to the emergency room. Moira Gallacher, 72, had been vacationing in Romania with her friend Charmian Widdowson when the women decided to go for a drive through the Carpathian Mountains.During the outing, the women came across a couple of brown bears and did their best to get a photo of the wildlife. “What happened was the bear came up to the window at my friend’s side, and no problem. It let us take a picture and went away,” Gallacher said in a video shared by Scottish outlet STV News on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday, April 23. “But I didn’t get a proper picture, so we went back and it was at my side.”...“We saw these bears – a mummy bear, and a baby – they were gorgeous,” Widdowson said. “But they weren’t gorgeous. The mummy bear was hungry, and thought my friend was going to be lunch,” she added.Recounting the moments before the mauling, Widdowson said she parked her car to be able to get a better photo. “I thought he wanted to be friends,” she said. “The bear came and wanted to get into the car, but he started getting into the car and bit my friend.”

she needs to watch Grizzly Man to see how those 'friendships' work out

There are way too many videos on Instagram of people petting and or play-wrestling with bears, with zero context. I feel like a lot of dumb motherfuckers are gonna start getting eaten before long.
