| A brown bear licks it's paws after eating wild honey and berries. |
The Brown Bear is fairly common in Europe and Asia. In a wild state it grows to a very large size, but directly it is confined in a cage it ceases to develop and remains comparatively small all its life.
The brown bear lives mainly upon roots, leaves, and honey, consequently, it does not make many inroads on the farmers' cattle.
The brown bear is easily tamed and becomes very affectionate, and will follow its owner about like a dog. It was frequently seen in the past in shows and circuses, where it is made to dance upon its hind legs.

Big Bear by Silem.
Oh Bear, big Bear
What do you see
From high up there
Beneath the tree?
I see the brook
Far, far below,
The valley red
With the evening's glow.
I see the rocks,
And silent meadows
Turn purple in
The creeping shadows.
Oh Bear, big Bear
Whom do you love
As you stand there
So far above
The meadow and
The giant trees?
Whom do you love?
Oh, tell me please!
I love my life
And pleasant food.
I love the sun,
And cliffs and wood.
I love sweet smells
And mountains tall.
I love my babies
Best of all.
