Bear Enthusiasts, a Rare Breed

@brotherbear,
You are right, Big cats are bigger star compared to bears but this is due to lot of reason like, they are most filmed animals in documentaries aired on discovery, animal planet, nat geo, bbc etc.. This is because they are easy to film and study and since they are pure carnivore with full of action they get more attention. African country have large plain and they organize easy and convenient tour for its visitor, this make people go to see these animals and hence many of them get attracted towards them.
Unfortunately bear has different life style. They live in place which is not very ideal for most of tourist.
I love polar bear a lot and if you can see I tried to contribute maximum in polar bear thread despite of my very limited knowledge.
The community of scientist and researcher are not very friendly when it comes to share the knowledge in open forum like wildfact. They do share it but most of them in paper or in any specific publication.

Now if we talk about members on wildfact then I still consider wildfact is not very big and popular community on internet. First when we started we have lot of members who love tigers and they put lot of information about them, for sometime it looks like wildfact is community of tigers fans only, but with time when @Majingilane , @Pantherine and other people joined wildfact, it become big place for Lion information and now its look like Lion section has become more popular than tiger section. So basically it depends on people who join us and how willing they are sharing information with us. Currently we lack bear specialist but You have already given a very good start to wildfact when it comes to bear knowledge. I hope with time we will make it full of information and discussion for bears just like big cats.
