When a bear is growing up it must learn many skills. First it is born in a den or during hibernation. Next it grows up were it is able to leave its den witch will take about 3 to 6 weeks. Then it fallows its and learns skills (like learning how to catch pray) by watching its mother. Lastly the cub is big enough to go in the wild alone.
