Bears are mammals
of the family Ursidae. Bears are
classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivorans, with the pinnipeds being their
closest living relatives. Although only eight species of bears are extant, they
are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern
Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found on the continents
of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Source
