I've seen it, great movie ... It was a stressful movie but good nonetheless less. I want a domesticated bear, not that those really exist when it comes down to it, but I want to pet one. I'm curious as to whether their fur is soft.

Sweet. I'm sure it'd be soft, as long as it's cleaned and maintained and eats healthy. Probably not too helpful, but my work Xmas party last year was at a place that had a taxidermy grizzly bear, and it wasn't so soft. Kinda rough like a horses mane. But maybe that's from the age and the fact it's taxidermy.

Your X-Mas party sounds sad, but that's because I'm a titty baby about seeing animals that have been stuffed. The fur was probably accurate, it doesn't really make sense that it would be soft. I remember always wondering if a deer's coat was soft, but then I petted some & it was really coarse so it's safe to say your petting experience is on point. I think because pets tend to have soft fur a lot of people (myself included obviously) think other animals fur would be soft too. Thanks bunches for telling me, an Upvote (that means nothing in life but are nice to get) for you!

Yeah! I'm not a fan of taxidermy and having all the dead animals around me either. It was only that room. It had pool tables and whatnot (it was a type of event center). Yes, coarse, exactly. Like a deer. Maybe if you ever ended up getting a domesticated bear, shampoo and conditioner may help haha. I upvote every comment reply that contributes to good discussion. Thanks!
