00:07.300 --> 00:08.966 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
culture, our bedrooms, even into

00:08.966 --> 00:10.033 position:37.5% line:84.67% size:52.5%
the sky.

00:10.033 --> 00:11.966 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
Let's name some famous bears.

00:11.966 --> 00:14.500 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
Smoky bear, not Smokey the Bear,

00:14.500 --> 00:16.000 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
was a real bear that was rescued

00:16.000 --> 00:17.366 position:30% line:84.67% size:60%
from a wildfire.

00:17.366 --> 00:18.800 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
He was treated and sent to the

00:18.800 --> 00:20.233 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%
National Zoological Park in

00:20.233 --> 00:21.200 position:30% line:84.67% size:60%
Washington, D.C.

00:21.200 --> 00:22.933 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%
In 1944, the Forest Service

00:22.933 --> 00:24.833 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
decided Smokey Bear would make a

00:24.833 --> 00:26.800 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%
great symbol to teach people

00:26.800 --> 00:28.433 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
about the dangers of wildfires.

00:28.433 --> 00:30.133 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
The Teddy Bear that we all know

00:30.133 --> 00:31.400 position:20% line:84.67% size:70%
and love was named after

President Theodore Roosevelt.

00:32.900 --> 00:34.366 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
Roosevelt was out hunting and

00:34.366 --> 00:35.800 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
refused to shoot a bear that had

00:35.800 --> 00:36.900 position:25% line:84.67% size:65%
been tied to a tree.

00:36.900 --> 00:38.433 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%
Now Teddy Bears are the most

00:38.433 --> 00:40.133 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%

00:40.133 --> 00:41.100 position:40% line:84.67% size:50%

a real bear called Winnipeg who

00:44.266 --> 00:45.633 position:20% line:84.67% size:70%
