4These are tropes pertaining to members of the family ''Ursidae'', A.K.A. bears.

6Despite the names, TheBear, ExitPursuedByABear, CareBearStare, DancingBear, TwentyBearAsses, KillerBearHug, SealedEvilInATeddyBear, YetAnotherBabyPanda, MakeTheBearAngryAgain, and BearHug do not go here. While the [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]] of MamaBear comes from North American grizzly bears protecting their cubs, the trope in general is about a mother who is protective of her kids. LaidBackKoala and [[YowiesAndBunyipsAndDropBearsOhMy Drop Bears]] don't go here as koalas are not actual bears, but rather marsupials (with drop bears being a mythical creature).
