In a wild stateit grows to a very large size, but directly it is confined in a cage it ceases todevelop and remains comparatively small all its life. The brown bear lives mainly upon roots, leaves, and honey, consequently,it does not make many inroads on the farmers cattle. The brown bear is easily tamed and becomes verv affectionate, and willfollow its owner about like a dog. It is frequently seen with shows and cir-cuses, where it is made to dance upon its hind legs.
