What is a group of bears called?

A group of bears is generally referred to as a sleuth or a sloth.

  • Sleuth: This term is more commonly used, especially when referring to a group of bears that are actively hunting or foraging. It evokes a sense of the bears being investigative and resourceful, actively searching for food. You can learn more about their Hunting%20Behavior here.

  • Sloth: This term is also used, though perhaps slightly less frequently. "Sloth" often describes a group of bears that are resting, sleeping, or generally moving in a leisurely manner. Learn about the Bear%20Resting%20Habits here.

While "sleuth" and "sloth" are the most common terms, other less frequently used terms might include "company" or "congregation," but these are rarely used specifically for bears. The exact term used can sometimes depend on the specific Bear%20Species and their behavior at the time.
