www.ancient.eu/article/796/mythological-re-enactments-in-ancient-roman-specta/ ORPHEUS In regards to Orpheus, another easily identifiable figure in mythology, Martial describes a manipulation of the myth. Although Orpheus would have remained identifiable by carrying a lyre, perhaps even playing music and singing, the outcome of the myth was altered. Unlike the myth, Martial records that the death of "Orpheus" was caused by a bear rather than the Bacchae. In this re-enactment, the wonders of the amphitheatre would have been put into effect, taking advantage of the multiple entrances, trap doors, and scenic displays. "Orpheus" would have entered the area with his lyre, while tame and harmless animals would have been slowly released. Some of these animals may have even been trained to interact with the character and his music. Finally, a bear would have been released, and perhaps "Orpheus" would have even been netted to prevent escape. Once "Orpheus" was trapped and the bear released, the criminal would have been torn apart, likely interpreted as an ironic twist to the myth, which the audience, not having anticipated this, would find entertaining and full of suspense: "Orpheus," killed by the very beast he was meant to charm.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle_Book_(1967_film) The Jungle Book (1967 film). Animation and a very fun entertaining movie. But Walt Disney was notorious for taking someone's novel and taking many liberties with charcaters and story lines when he turned the novel into a movie. Rudyard Kipling clearly states that Baloo is a brown bear. Walt Disney decides that Baloo should be a sloth bear. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle_Book_(2016_film) The Jungle Book (2016 film). Another Disney production which is ( almost ) live-action. This film which is an adaptation of the 1967 animated film, calls Baloo a sloth bear but "draws" him as a brown bear. Total confusion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mowgli:_Legend_of_the_Jungle Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle is a 2018 adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book ( Disney not involved ). This is a rather dark version but more like the novel than either of the Disney attempts. But while Baloo is clearly a brown bear, he is dark, almost black, and rather ugly. For me personally, the best yet Jungle Book adaptation was this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_Book_(1942_film) Jungle Book (1942 film). Great movie, but Baloo is portrayed by an American black bear. Another thing that bugs me about the 2016 and 2018 movies - Question: was it the wolves, the leopard, or the bear that decided to put britches on Mowgli?

Whether it’s fear, gratitude, joy or awe–or some combination of them–experiences with the Great Bear rarely fail to elicit strong feelings from people. For one grizzly enthusiast, those feelings led to creative expression, and we’re honored to share her work here on the Vital Ground blog. Georgia Baker is a wildlife and wildland painter and a friend of Vital Ground who was inspired by our founders, Doug and Lynne Seus and Bart the Bear. Her recent painting, The Bond, was born from that inspiration. It will be auctioned as a fundraiser for The Compassion Project, an initiative led by Montana State University to spread compassion through art and education. ( read more on site ).

A Bear Walking, ca. 1490 Leonardo da Vinci (Italian, 1452–1519) Leonardo da Vinci's abundant drawings and notebooks record his keen and tireless observation of all aspects of the natural world. This accurately rendered depiction of a bear walking was presumably drawn from life. (In one of his notebooks, the artist wrote of the presence of bears in the woods outside Milan.) It relates thematically to a small group of drawings of a bear's head and paws that Leonardo probably produced for an anatomical treatise. The faint outlines of a seated woman are visible beneath the drawing of the bear, indicating that Leonardo reused the sheet. www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/459184

My favourite drawing in this thread. This looks like a painting of a Tibetan blue bear. brobear, baloo in Jungle Book 2016 is most likely a hymalayan brown bear/ red bear or a sloth bear in a brown bear's body (just joking on the latter).

Pockets and I had some heated arguments about Baloo. He insists that Baloo is a sloth bear. Indeed we find this said all over the internet. Walt Disney, a brilliant and talented man, but he had no qualms about changing other peoples works. He stated that Baloo is a sloth bear. Indeed, this would seem logical. However, Rudyard Kipling was the author of the Jungle Books and he made it perfectly clear that Baloo is a brown bear. I would then assume that the fictional Baloo should be depicted as a Himalayan brown bear ( red bear ).

Grizzly Bear by Mary Austin If you ever, ever, ever meet a grizzly bear,
You must never, never, never ask him where
He is going,
Or what he is doing;
For if you ever, ever dare
To stop a grizzly bear,
You will never meet another grizzly bear.

Thats a good rhyme but it means if you meet s grizzly, this will be the last day you will be alive. Actually, it means if you interfere in his routine you might die. Don't bother him.
