I literally experience this when I see bears. Where's our cute tiny bear species that is happy as a pet? I want my microbear!

    Good news. Bears are the same order as Dogs: Dogs are your Microbears!

    The order is Carnivora. So by your logic, cats are microbears too. Not a bad attempt, but I don't think that's satisfying enough for bear lovers. You're right they are more related to dogs than to cats (superfamily Canoidea), but that's still not enough. We need an Ursidae pet, that's the only way.

    I was at the Calgary Zoo last week and I watched a blonde bear being hunted relentlessly by two darker bears. The consensus was that they were playing and everyone was having a good laugh, but the longer it went on, the less the blonde bear appeared to be having fun. But the darker bears just kept going. I couldn't help but wonder, what if the blonde bear was going to be eaten by the other bears, and he's just trapped in this exhibit, doomed to run perpetual circles until he finally collapses and gets ripped apart by the others?

    I don't know where the fuck I was going with this one. I just wanted to rescue that blonde bear from his cruel friends. Maybe he'd make a good candidate for a housebear. I didn't get a photo of him, but I did manage to snap this awkward pic of a meerkat.
