Wow! Some bears!

Maybe you know that Dr Kelly is now running the Black Bear Research Centre. Did you know that? It's true. While bears aren't exactly kitties, they do have tons of similarities. Such as fur. Really soft fur. And claws. Yikes! That part isn't so good. And cubs; both kitties and bears have cubs. Cubs are almost the best thing ever.

What else? Teeth and legs and pointy ears and keen eyesight, and a tendency to eat almost anything, and when encountered in the woods, both bears and kitties often provoke in humans a profound desire to change their underpants.

Who wants some soft, fluffy, fortunately toothless baby bears? Me!
