Description Comic #202:  Time for an EXTRA LARGE bear comic special as a celebration for reaching 200+ comics! 🥳🐻 Some notable anatomical features that differentiate the bear species! Condensed down and learned when making my anatomy studies earlier. It also helps semi-realistic artists draw your character when you pick a species rather than just ‘bear’! Can you find all the jokes I hid in there?

Okay, now I have far less reason to not draw more bears!  I love them anyway, but they are just fantastic all around. <3  I wanna hug a bear.

Best thing about sloth bears is that they smell like fresh popcorn! It's amazing and a little strange, but really cool!

Not sure about them, but I can confirm as I have smelled a sloth bear. Most surreal moment of my life.

Very cool! There must be something similar about their fur type!

That or the person who let me smell the animal that smelled like popcorn got the name wrong. Or I misremembered being only 11 at the time. Either way, there is an animal out there that smells of popcorn and that makes me happy.

This is so helpful! I have a bear character that I've had for years, but I rarely ever drew him because my bears never looked anything like bears. And even though I'm a lot better at anatomy now he still has a tendency to look like a weird hybridization of a grizzly and a rottweiler (he's supposed to be a glacier bear only more blue - let's be real, Bubba's a knockoff of Blue from Donkey Kong Country 3).

Super cool!
As someone not too familiar with bear species, this will be pretty neat to keep in mind. I also like how you mentioned the reasons some of these features exist. Could help when designing imaginary species. ^^

But shouldn't 'bear to claw ratio' be 'claw to bear ratio'?
