Bears have both high health and high damage. Most bears are dangerous to players as well as to other animals.

Spawning

Brown and black bears spawn in Temperate regions, and may be present in Warm or Cool regions, though brown bear spawns at slightly higher latitudes than black bear. Panda and sun bears spawn in Warm/Hot regions. Polar bears spawn in Cool/Cold/Icy regions.

Bears spawn on the surface , in grass, snow, or air. Most prefer forested areas with some precipitation, but trees are not necessary, and removing vegetation doesn't affect their ability to spawn.

Behaviors

All bears can easily hit animals over 1 block high fence, but they can't jump over fences. Brown bears, black bears and pandas can easily escape of a 3 blocks deep pit. Polar bear and sun bear can only jump 2 blocks [1]. Polar bear can swim faster than other bears [2].

Preys

Panda bears and sun bears will not hunt any prey, but will still defend themselves if they are attacked. However, it is recommended to avoid getting too close to them, as they might feel attacked and can defend themselves.

Other bears will hunt:

Domestication

Bears cannot be domesticated but can be killed for animal resources.

Harvesting

Butcher the animal by right-clicking while crouching with a knife in the active hand to harvest its corpse.
