The Bear Power Animal

There are eight species of bears in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Bears live about 25 years in the wild and up to 50 years in captivity. Common characteristics of bears include large bodies, stocky legs, long snouts, shaggy hair, small ears, and nonretractable claws. Most bears have a diet of meat and plants and have an excellent sense of smell. They mark their territory by rubbing against trees and other places to spread their scent. Despite their slow way of walking, they are good runners, climbers, and swimmers. Bears use shelters, like caves and logs for dens where they hibernate for the winter. Although solitary, they utilize distinctive vocal sounds and body language to communicate. For example, a bear may roar, stare, or stand upright to make their feelings known.

Bears prefer roaming and doing things alone. They are remarkably intelligent, confident, and strong willed. Quick and agile, the bear pursues whatever they want. They are usually shy and gentle but are also tough and fierce. Bears are extremely protective of their loved ones, especially a mother with her cubs. They have little desire to be confrontational but will defend themselves fearlessly if necessary. In general, bears want to be in control and don’t like to be supervised. The bear plays and works hard but doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Bears are popular animals and are featured in many stories, folklores, mythology, and legends across the world. Even a major constellation in astronomy is named after the Great Bear, Ursa Major. The bear energy provides a tremendous power and stable foundation to help overcome any challenge. The bear is a symbol of strength and courage.
