It's a Bear Thing You Wouldn't Understand

2 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.

Which one to pick

Animal designs split between the accurate and the cartoon. The 2 here differ mostly on that axis, so pick the register that suits the person rather than the species.

Keepers of unusual animals tend to want anatomical accuracy; someone who simply likes the animal usually prefers the cartoon version.

Who it is for

This suits the person whose interest in bear has gone past casual — the one who corrects documentaries. For a general animal lover, a broader design is a safer gift.

Species matter more than people think

Black, brown and polar bears behave differently and the safety advice for each is different, which anyone who lives in bear country will tell you at length.

Bears do not truly hibernate in the way smaller mammals do, and this is a standing correction among wildlife people.

For someone who lives near them, a bear design reads very differently than it does for someone who does not.

Sizing and ordering

  • Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
  • Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
  • Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.

If it is not quite the right animal

The wording only works when it names the exact animal, so it is worth checking before you buy. Camel, Cow and Cuy each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
