March 23 – World Bear Day

March 23 is World Bear Day, a day to appreciate and learn about bears! There are eight species of bears found around the world, and they are all amazing animals. Bears are very intelligent and have been known to use tools, mate for life, and grieve for their dead. They are also very popular symbols in folklore and literature, often representing strength and ferocity. Sadly, bears are also threatened by habitat loss and hunting, so World Bear Day is a day to spread awareness about these animals and what we can do to help them.
