One last thing. Bear have some of the most interesting metabolic mechanisms of any land animal.

Fascinating. Could you please expand on that? Thanks.

Don't know a whole lot about bear metabolism, but I do know that hibernating bears don't urinate or defecate during hibernation. For 4 to 6 months.

That qualifies as pretty remarkable to me.
