Animal Information
|
Bears are a common animal seen around Springfield. They normally live in the woods but have been known to wander into town and cause trouble.
History
Maggie is taken in by a family of bears while the rest of the family have to live on their own out in the woods. They brought her all kinds of toys and kept her warm at night, proving that they are not all mean. In the end they were sad to see her go but as a parting gift she gave one of them one of her pacifiers.[1]
When Homer is late, Marge imagines he's been chased up a tree by a bear, but quickly dismisses that theory.[2] A bear ate a camper's hat at Kamp Krusty.[3] A polar bear once rummaged through the Simpson's trash.[4] The junior camper group led by Ernest Borgnine was attacked by a bear. Borgnine was going to use his knife to defend them, but Homer had stolen it.[5]
Ben is the host of his own TV show. He wears a helmet with a microphone attached. One episode was about mothers and runaway daughters reunited by their hatred of Homer Simpson, who was accused of sexual harassment at the time. One member of the audience wanted to talk about the funding of public schools, while another tried to ask a question, only for Ben to go towards the buffet table. A man tries to stop him, to which Ben aggressively swats him, causing the Ben Squad to tranquillize him and Ben to fall into the audience and the show to be cut.[6]
Homer tells Lisa one of the things he has learnt with age is that when a sign says "Do not feed the bears" you do not feed the bears, revealing a baby bear biting his arm.[7] Channel 6 News reports of a stowaway bear terrorizing space shuttle astronauts.[8]
A bear appears at Evergreen Terrace, but seems passive. Despite this Ned Flanders panics, crashing his car into a tree and frantically tries to get into his home with the rest of the Flanders family struggling to unlock the door. Ned ends up jumping through the glass near the door. The bear is extensively covered on the news and the Simpson family, much to an unaware Homer's joy, watch the bear destroy their mailbox. Homer, not wanting to be captive in his own home without beer, tries to climb the power lines, but his weight causes them to dip and he ends up face-to-face with the bear. Chief Wiggum, using a blow dart, attempts to tranquillize the bear, and after hitting Barney with the first shot, hits the bear, who is taken away in a U.S. Forest Service truck. Despite it being the only bear attack in history, the locals are tired of the "constant bear attacks" and Homer leads an angry mob to City Hall to ensure it doesn't happen again. To do this, Quimby starts a Bear Patrol, which was a costly venture, featuring expensive high-tech air and street patrols. This caused a $5 tax rise, which once again causes another angry mob. To try and please the mob's demands of a bear patrol without the extra tax Quimby blames high taxes on illegal immigrants.[9]
When preparing the zoo animals for Homer's next masterpiece Bart gets mauled by the grizzly bear.[10] A Bear, when Mt. Springfield caught on fire, attempted to escape via the helicopter's ladder, but Homer (who was drunk) cut it down with the bear still on it. The bear then fled through the forest. It is unknown if that particular bear survived or not.[11] A bear is seen in the hospital corridors.[12]
Homer takes his giant deep-fired, caramel-covered, cotton candy ball to the dump. There he is confronted by a angry grizzly bear and cowers in fright. The bear wanders off, bored of a distraught Homer. Despite being left unscathed, Homer becomes a nervous wreck and hallucinates, seeing bears everywhere. Soon after a video is released of Homer and the bear and Homer is left embarrassed. Grampa tells Homer to confront the bear, and after contacting Grant, a hunter, he constructs a makeshift suit of armor and goes to take on the bear with bart, Lenny and Carl. After setting in camp, Homer takes off his armor and bathes in a stream, where the bear once again attacks him, dragging Homer to its cave. There Homer discovers that the bear is only angry due to an electrical prod attached to its ear. Homer removes the tag and him and the bear become friends, going through garbage together. Homer then takes the bear to a wildlife refuge, but on the way, Grant (called by a worried Marge and Lisa) and other hunters start shooting at the bear. Homer puts the bear in his armor, which successfully stops the bullets and let's him go to the refuge. However upon arrival he is attacked by an elephant, and the two creatures start fighting.[13]

After Bart and Lisa leave their home, the Three Bears find Goldilocks in their home and attack her, most likely killing her.[14]
