If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too.
If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're
sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your
cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs.
Yup..... I wanna be a bear.
(I didn't write this, I received it in an email, and well, what can I say? I want to be a bear.)

Seriously, I took this picture at the Winnipeg Zoo, which is the second largest and best zoo in North America, second only to San Diego.
