A bear cub is a cub of a wild animal, and even in zoos, circuses, nature reserves and other special institutions, people are not used to giving them names. But naming a clubfoot baby is very important.

We are of the same blood - you and me

Some believe that the nickname not only helps to establish contact with the animal and develop mutual trust, but can also affect the fate of the animal.

But we can certainly say that the name of a pet is important both for the animal itself and for the person. It is best to give the bear a short name, then it will be easier for him to remember it. It is desirable that it sounds clearly, because the little bear will still need to respond and understand that it is his name. Thinking about what name to give the bear, do not forget that this is also a living creature and requires love.

Display character in name

When you start choosing a name for any animal, treating it like a child is not enough, although this is already the right way.

He will tell you how to find a common language with the animal and gain his trust. But first of all, if the bear has already grown a little, begins to show character traits, then they must be taken into account. Even if you choose a name for a white bear cub, then calling it Snowball just because of the color of the fur will be ridiculous, agree. Although the name Snezhana may well suit the girl, and if you want a more unusual, "foreign", then the name of the Scandinavian goddess of love Freya is quite suitable. If this is a boy and he is smart and affectionate, then you can name him after the cartoon character - Umka. If he is friendly, but prefers to be alone, but is ready to protect his mother and others, then you can call him Nanuk (the name means "polar bear" in the language of the Eskimos).

From polar to brown

Choosing a name for a brown or black bear cub is easier than for a white one. In any case, many people think so. Giving the animal a name that reflects its color is a very good idea, but not necessary. You may well name it so that it just suits the clubfoot fluffy character, and there can be many options. Favorite books, films and cartoons can come to the rescue. For example, from books, a familiar from childhood, kind, fair, but at the same time formidable bear Baloo from the story of Mowgli immediately comes to mind. If we recall more modern stories, then there are also many of them. You can name the bear cub Kenai or Koda from the Disney cartoon, where a man turned into his totem. Then he will grow up as a kind and devoted bear. The Indians had many othersinteresting names that are very well suited for bears, in particular, brown ones. By the way, formidable names can be given, and, conversely, very cute cubs. For example, the name Beorn, which came from the Anglo-Saxon and is known thanks to the film and book "The Hobbit". And the girl can be called Ursula - quite simply, but unusual.

Are there any rules?

Like choosing a name for a baby, there are no rules when naming a teddy bear.

The only criterion that can exist is personal preference. Can a nickname literally change the fate of a baby? "What do you call a ship, so will it sail?" There is no evidence for such opinions, but it is also impossible to assert the opposite without doubt. The name of the beast helps in education and training, and it is these processes that will affect how kind, devoted or aggressive it grows. Of course, we should not forget that by nature bears are wild animals, and it is always more humane to give them the opportunity to live in their natural environment. But with poaching on the rise, you never know how long a baby will stay with you. That is why it is very important to choose a name from the heart, and not just so that you can fill out documents for the animal or write it on a stand near the cage at the zoo.
