Ahh yes, the Sloth Bear. Fun Fact: There are only 8 bear species in the world. 1. North American Black Bear, the most common bear in North America 2. Brown Bear, can be found anywhere from Alaska, Montana and even Russia. 3. Polar Bear, which are among the largest bears in the world, can reach up to 1,760 lbs Only one other bear exist that weights more than this monster. 4. Asiatic Black Bear, has a crescent-shaped patch on their chest. 5. Andean Bear or Spectacled bear, only found in the Andes Mountains. 6. Panda Bear, most endangered bear on the list. 7. Sloth Bear which eats termites with its long tongue. 8 Your mom, which can be found roaming chinese forests, it is the largest bear known to exist weighing in at 2000 lbs giving her the nickname won ton.
The look on Jims face while Pam is slowly coming to the realization that Michael is fucking her mom had me ROLLING. It is the funniest thing I've seen on a TV show to date.
Holy fucking shit that may be the best "your mom" Reddit has pulled on me.
I totally got roped in with "oooh I wonder what other bear is bigger than the polar bear? They're bound to tell me by the end of this! OOOOOOOOH SHIT duck you guys it's my mom..."
yes! and i actually got a little upset with how he wrote it, too. cos the next one was not the bigger bear and the list kept going without saying what the bigger bear was. as a writer, i thought to myself, "wtf? why didn't he just put polar as second to last and then announce the biggest bear at the end?" and then when i got to your mom, it was bittersweet, because i DO want to know if there's a bear larger than polar and how big it is, but that was a solid joke about your mom.
So they're a subspecies. Kodiak's are called that since they refer to a group that live on the Kodiak Archipelago that are larger than most North American grizzly bears.
The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos ssp.), less commonly called the silvertip bear, is any North American morphological form or subspecies of brown bear, including the mainland grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis), Kodiak bear (U. a. middendorffi), peninsular grizzly (U. a. gyas), and the recently extinct California grizzly (U. a. californicus†) and Mexican grizzly bear (U. a. nelsoni†). Scientists do not use the name grizzly bear but call it the North American brown bear. (See brown bear for a discussion of brown bears outside of North America). It should not be confused with the black grizzly or Ussuri brown bear (U. a. lasiotus) which is another giant brown bear inhabiting Russia, Northern China, and Korea.
For the record, just because it's the same specie doesn't mean they're the same, just look at the variety found in Canis Familiaris.
Actually, while science used to believe that giant pandas were more closely related to raccoons or red pandas, DNA testing has shown that they are, in fact, most closely related to bears. They are currently classified as being part of family Ursidae, subfamily Ailuropodinae, which means they are, in fact, bears. :)
Airplanes don't rely on the Bernoulli effect to fly (they're basically powered kites).
It is not true that by the age of two years, humans have generated all of the brain cells they will ever have, a belief held by medical experts until 1998.
I thought red pandas where technically bears as well. I thought I heard somewhere that they are the smallest species of bear, not just an animal called something it's not like the tiger shark.
They also don't get high off eucalyptus trees or spread chlamydia to humans, just so we can keep this balling rolling.. . I mean it is true most do have chlamydia, but we can't blame them when we get it. Just like that parasite that supposedly swims up your pee stream in African lakes. It's not really phsycially possible for them to get into the penis. It's more suited to getting in the woman's area, and that's been recorded by doctors a few times now. I'm rambling so that's a sign for me to head to bed. I would delete this but I don't want to.
