Bear Furres, i got a suggestion for a new species Options

[Guest_Jon Kimaru_*]

I think there should be bear characters on furcadia.

[Amy May]

They are planned Next update. They are dune in the summer

[Guest_Jon Kimaru_*]

realy? o.o;

cool n.n

[Guest_Iced Stallion_*]

A bear? why you guys should have made a deer species bears are boring.

[Guest_Velios_*]

Bears are boring?? You must be kidding!
Have you ever seen bear documentaries on Discovery Channel? They're the coolest, cutest animals around.
I'll go a grey Russian Bear if and when they come out, I can see myself as a big furry bear in Furcadia.
Just make sure that they're not too big, otherwise you'll invite the twink parade to go crazy grizzly bears that tear apart anything and everything.

I would have to make a panda character if bear avatars were released. =>

Ayumi-Snowe is, somewhere, somehow, burned in effigy by people screaming, "PANDAS ARE NOT BEARS."

An equine would easily make a substitue for a deer.

Anyways, I cant wait for the ursine update this summer. I Imagine them to be almost as big as dragons, and have thier feet powinting inward like an infant... I have no Idea why, but thats how I imagine that will look like on furc... oh yeah, and judgeing on the style of the portraits from the other avatars (excluding Lapines), I can aready see what thier bortraits are gonna look like: Just like hollywood diagrams Papa, Mama, and baby bear... really freaky and ridiculous at the same time. Oh well, that when the patchers come in.

Well, true :) There is some force behind the suggestion that their nearest relative may be the raccoon (I think). The Red Panda is very raccoon-like (rakish?).

However, the panda has a thumb, which it uses to grip the bamboo as it eats. The thumb isn't like our thumb (I think the panda still has a dew-claw higher up, which uses the bones from our "thumb") but comes from a bone that bears have... and raccoons don't. Conclusive proof? Perhaps.

See Stephen Jey Gould's paper "The panda's thumb" for more info. It's been a while since I read it, so I may have some facts wrong, particularly those marked with "I think".

[Dyluck]

hehe... WIth the bear patch my ALT who is a polarbear could look more like a bear than a feline.  

[Guest_Niki Asoku_*]

Ah, yes... big fuzzy cuddly bears...

Need.  Blacksmith.  Bear character.

[Solstice Night]

I thought they said it wasn't a bear...

What is it gonna be?

[Arpha]

Aw :( I didn't want bears. Oh well, I can make a cute bear alt ;)

[Ayumi-Snowe]

I heard that skunks/squirrels will most likely be the next avatar.

[Arpha]

Oh! That sounds cool! Although skunks are mustelines.. Well, they don't look much like the mustie avatar though hehe

[Rickets]

I only pray they don't walk around thrusting their hips.

Hump-bunnies are scary enough.

Whoever designs them.. PLEASE design them so they look vaguely like the other art, instead of an entirely different style.

[Youlanda]

Actually, I have heared that squirrel/skunk is most likely the next species, according to something Talz announced.

Bears have been suggested before, quite a few times, possibly a dozen.

[Shymmer]

Know what irks me?  
People calling Koalas, "koala bears". x.x
They're more closely related to wombats, than bears.

Actually, it may be me, but I saw on TV a whole fuss because some scientists reclassified the Koala as a bear. Now I don't know -which- it is now

But bears would be fun! Snuggles all around! Real teddy bears to hug ^^

[Shymmer]

Yuss. Bears are cute.

But, it's Koala Wombat, if anything.. _not_ Koala Bear. -.o

[Guest_GimZy_*]

I'd make a Koala...
but then again, Koala's are not BEARS!!!!!
but, they're cute
and have big black noses
and chew leaves
