You can try to pet bears at least one time.
If not friend, why friend shaped?
I have the same question, but reverse: Why are we making teddy bears bear-shaped?
Because they are called teddy bears. It wouldnt make sense if a teddy bear would have the shape of the sun or a cat
Thanks, that perfectly explains why we decided to use an apex predator for our cuddly toys.
Fuck my survival instinct, I want that hug.
They're not soft anyways. It's super disappointing.
It's like running your hand over a wire bristle cleaning brush. 2/10 would not recommend. (The baby cubs are no different.)
Edit for info: it was brown bears that I got to touch. Can't speak for black, Polar, or others.
oh no, you can definitely pet bears

You absolutely can, I've done it

From me experience bears weren't hostile (this one was a pet), more like mega lazy fur balls
Like a big dog, in my experience...
I think it may depend greatly on the bear, but in this case, if you're the apple connect, they'll let you pet them.
Just don't run out of apples.
Everything is petable if you're brave enough. If just once.
Just like "All fungi are edible, some fungi are only edible once." - Terry Pratchett.
You can pet them… maybe only once but you can
