Interesting linguistic history on bears, the word "bear" isn't even the original word for bear. Its etymology is essentially "the thing we aren't even going to name right now" because people were scared that if you said the name of the thing that you might get a scary bear coming in tearing up your shit. The original name of a bear was closer to the latin ursus or greek word arktos, but it was called "the brown one" as a euphemism. Many northern european cultures made similar euphemisms.
Bears, particularly grizzly bears, are dangerous.
