Tag: HORRIBLE BEAR BEAR
my favourite thing is probably the scientific name of the Grizzly bear.
It’s Ursus arctos horribilis. “ursus” meaning bear in Latin and “arctos”, bear in Greek.
so essentially a grizzly is a “horrible bear bear.”
The Eurasian Brown Bear is Ursus arctos arctos
So literally “Bear Bear Bear”. The most bear a bear can be.
So bear. Much roar. Wow.
Also! The Arctic Circle is named for the bears, not the other way ‘round. It’s the Circle With Bears In, and the Antarctic is the Circle (and continent) Away From Bears.
I think we should all start referring to things by their proximity to bears.
