Bears in captivity have for centuries been used for entertainment. They have been trained to dance, [129] and were kept for baiting in Europe from at least the 16th century. There were five bear-baiting gardens in Southwark, London, at that time; archaeological remains of three of these have survived. [130] Across Europe, nomadic Romani bear handlers called Ursari lived by busking with their bears from the 12th century. [131] The most accurate way to determine the age of a bear is to count the rings in a cross section of its tooth root under a microscope. [8] If you dream of a cub, it could indicate that you need to take care in ways that you can’t readily identify – these are the sorts of things that are more instinctive and unknown to us than we would like them to be. Bears have been known to eat almost anything, including snowmobile seats, engine oil, and rubber boots. [5]Silver, Alexandra (10 January 2011).

Bear’s Bread Bears have small rounded ears so as to minimize heat loss, but neither their hearing or sight are particularly acute. Unlike many other carnivorans they have color vision, perhaps to help them distinguish ripe nuts and fruits. They are unique among carnivorans in not having touch-sensitive whiskers on the muzzle; however, they have an excellent sense of smell, better than that of the dog, or possibly any other mammal. They use smell for signalling to each other (either to warn off rivals or detect mates) and for finding food. Smell is the principal sense used by bears to locate most of their food, and they have excellent memories which helps them to relocate places where they have found food before.
