It's not difficult to come up with a name for a bear. To do this, you should look at the predator, pay attention to its habits and come up with a nickname that suits this particular animal.
Why is a bear called a bear?
Where did the name "bear" come from? Why are large predators called that way? The word "bear" consists of two parts. The first is “honey”, and the second is “after all”. The word "because" originates from the words "know" and "know". It turns out that the bear is such a predator that knows where the honey is.
Can an animal be called a human name?
For a bear, as for any other animal, choosing a nickname from human names is considered a sin. The Christian Church opposes such names and suggests that in this way a person shortens the life of a predator. Bears named by human names are more likely to get sick, show apathy or aggression.
