Bear. 1 Samuel 17:34; 2 Samuel 17:8. The Syrian bear, Ursus syriacus, which is, without doubt, the animal mentioned in the Bible, is still found on the higher mountains of Palestine. During the summer months, these bears keep to the snowy parts of Lebanon, but descend, in winter, to the villages and gardens. It is probable, also, that at this period, in former days, they extended their visits to other parts of Palestine.
