I spent a summer at Brown University when I was in High School, and they
had a really big stuffed Brown Bear where we got our mail. I only
just now realized that it was a "Brown" bear. OK, I was a pretty
clueless kid at the time and just thought of it as a big bear. :-)
My grandfather had been a hunter and when he was young, he went to
Alaska hunting, and came back with a black bear skin rug, complete
with head. As kids we used to drape it over ourselves and play.
A good size for kids to play bear with, but nowhere near the size
of that big "Brown" bear.
