What or indeed who, is your favourite bear?

Winnie the Pooh.

I like Ben
If you’d like,I can post the long version….XD

I like being bare. LOL No I would say that the Pandas are really cute or the Koala Bears.

Have any of you seen a Honey Bear they are really cute little guys. When I used to run a Pet shop we had one in there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULgPwv-509g

Fozzie the bear, hands down! With Yogi second.
As for reality, Polar bears are so cute… I want to hug them and squeeze them and call them my best friend.

I like the bear that steals picnic baskets…..But I can’t remember his name…..
and the bear I use as my little picture thing

I agree with @thekoukoureport Fozzie Bear rocks even had a dog named after him followed by Paddington.

Yogi stole the baskets. But fozzie could never get the joke out. Sooo funny

Grolar bears. You know, the grizzly/polar mix. I think they’re supposed to be super dangerous, but I like saying “grolar”. Although I’ve heard people call them “pizzly” bears before too, and I think that just sounds gross.
As for fictional bears, I used to like watching the Bear in the Big Blue House with my little brother. It was cute…

Beorn.

Panda’s!
Nothing cuter

Fictional bear: Pooh, but only the Shepherd illustration version, NOT the Disney one. Real life: Panda

My teddy bear is named “Edward ther Bear” after an exchange of dialogue from Milne’s Winnie-The-Pooh (“Don’t you know what a ther is?”). Fozzie the Bear, Paddington, and Rupert Bear aren’t too far behind.

@chyna

Pandas are not bears, though. Just so you know .

Hard to choose. Pooh and Yogi are up there at the top for me.

@Summum

That’s a kinkajou.

I am being a bio snob today :>), but also not a bear; it’s a member of the raccoon family.

Whab. Or Wahb. I forget how it was spelled.

Fardels Bear (line 20).

@crisw
Wikipedia classifies panda’s as bears: source”:Classification
For many decades the precise taxonomic classification of the Giant Panda was under debate because it shares characteristics of both bears and raccoons.[36] However, molecular studies suggest that the Giant Panda is a true bear and part of the Ursidae family,[37][38] though it differentiated early in history from the main ursine stock. The Giant Panda’s closest ursine relative is the Spectacled Bear of South America.[39] The Giant Panda has been referred to as a living fossil.[40]

I love this Bear

The person in the orange waders though fights like @lucillelucillelucille XD

The magnificent pedobear.

Thanks all! My fave real bear would be of the polar variety, I guess they’re just soooo cool. Tv bear would have to be this cool dude. My favourite cartoon bear vote goes to Nsfw Yogi! Just because ;¬}

@chyna

Yeesh. What was I thinking this morning! You’re right, of course.

@Cruiser —You’re guy
#3 ,aren’t you?—XD

fictional would be Pooh of course! oh bother!
otherwise I love the polar bear…. I always want to hug them but I think that could be bad for my health.

Black bear. Just hold your nose.

This is the tune for the bears that can waltz: they are very photogenic, of course.

Uncle Walter Goes Waltzing with Bears

All the polar bear comments made me think of this clip from the quiz show QI. I love the vocal reaction to the comment made about polar bears.

I think Polar Bears are very majestic and awe inspiring because of their enormous size and rugged handsomeness.

Bear skin rugs

Paddington or Yogi, but don’t like bear skin rugs.
My mother had a picture of me bare on a bear skin rug at age one. It got into the high school year book some how ! !

This bear however, takes the biscuit.

Smokey Bear. When I see him I know I’m near a state forest. State forests are my favorite spots to visit here in the states.

Also, Little Bear. He reminds me of cuddle time with my children.

Tossup between Pooh and Paddington.

Smokey (no doubt about it)

Rarebear.

I’m quite partial to a polar.

What about the Coca-Cola bears

Fozzie, and Knut

I’m going with the Red Panda

I don’t know his name, but he is a grizzly and he dined on Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend.

Ben from The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams.
Bungle! Hahahaha!
Paddington. He was the first bear that came to mind when I saw the question.

I’ve always been partial to Sleepy Bear (the old school image) from the Travelodge motel chain.

i love BROTHER BEAR,form the movie “Brother Bear”,my boyfriend has a stuff toy og brother bear when he was still young,he gave it to me and now we treat brother bear as our child,haha.
i simply love brother bear even though he’s plain brown. :)

I forgot about Beary Bear from Woodland Critter Christmas.

The bear i hate the most is the one with toilet paper bits left, And who thought “enjoy the go” was a good catchphrase?

Black Bear E. ;-)
