JOAN CARTAN-HANSEN, HOST: Bears

3
00:00:05,966 --> 00:00:07,300
have found their way into our

4
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:08,966
culture, our bedrooms, even into

5
00:00:08,966 --> 00:00:10,033
the sky.

6
00:00:10,033 --> 00:00:11,966
Let's name some famous bears.

7
00:00:11,966 --> 00:00:14,500
Smoky bear, not Smokey the Bear,

8
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:16,000
was a real bear that was rescued

9
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,366
from a wildfire.

10
00:00:17,366 --> 00:00:18,800
He was treated and sent to the

11
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,233
National Zoological Park in

12
00:00:20,233 --> 00:00:21,200
Washington, D.C.

13
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,933
In 1944, the Forest Service

14
00:00:22,933 --> 00:00:24,833
decided Smokey Bear would make a

15
00:00:24,833 --> 00:00:26,800
great symbol to teach people

16
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,433
about the dangers of wildfires.

17
00:00:28,433 --> 00:00:30,133
The Teddy Bear that we all know

18
00:00:30,133 --> 00:00:31,400
and love was named after

19
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,900
President Theodore Roosevelt.

20
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:34,366
Roosevelt was out hunting and

21
00:00:34,366 --> 00:00:35,800
refused to shoot a bear that had

22
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,900
been tied to a tree.

23
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:38,433
Now Teddy Bears are the most

24
00:00:38,433 --> 00:00:40,133
often purchased of any plush

25
00:00:40,133 --> 00:00:41,100
animal.

26
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,966
Winnie the Pooh was named after

27
00:00:42,966 --> 00:00:44,266
a real bear called Winnipeg who

28
00:00:44,266 --> 00:00:45,633
lived at the London Zoo.

29
00:00:45,633 --> 00:00:47,433
And look to the sky for our last

30
00:00:47,433 --> 00:00:49,066
famous bear: the constellation

31
00:00:49,066 --> 00:00:51,100
Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, the

32
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:53,033
great "she-bear" and her cub.

33
00:00:53,033 --> 00:00:54,733
Ursa Major is the third-largest

34
00:00:54,733 --> 00:00:56,300
constellation in the night sky.

35
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:57,866
You might know it better as the

36
00:00:57,866 --> 00:00:58,966
big dipper!

37
00:00:58,966 --> 00:01:00,200
