In medieval stories, Bruin the bear was a popular character. Bears are sometimes called the "clowns of the woods" because they dance, sit on their haunches, and roll head over hind paws. Bears share many characteristics with humans, including the abilities to stand upright and to hug, and they also fiercely protect their cubs.
In modern times, the bear is still considered a symbol of strength, courage, and endurance. About 110,000 years ago, Neanderthal hunters collected skulls of a large brown bear (now extinct) in a shrine where the Cult of the Bear worshiped for over 50,000 years. Toy bears developed out of admiration for real bears. Most people born in this century have probably encountered teddy bears during their lives, for the teddy bear was developed around the turn of the century.
