Bear species challenge 🐻 - hosted by ancaciochina

🐻 the brown bear – let's read a book with a found family.
The main reason for choosing this prompt is that  one of characteristics of a brawn bear is that a female can adopt orphaned cubs. The brown bear has a complex behavior that depends on the season and the sex. In spring and summer, the bear looks for mating partners and fights with other bears for territory. Each female can have several cubs from different fathers, which improves the genetic diversity of the species. After mating, the bears withdraw into solitude and prepare their dens for winter. There, the females give birth to small and furry cubs, which they nurse and protect with care. The cubs stay with their mother until they are three years old, when they become independent. If there are orphans, they can be adopted by another female. The brown bear can live up to 30 years in the wild.

Here you can choose any book, as long as it has a found family. Might be in a specific way (through adoption), or the trope of found family.

🧸️ About the brown bear: In Asia, brown bears live mainly in Russia, but also in some parts of the Middle East, such as Iran. They are also found in a few places in China, North Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. Hokkaidō, a Japanese island, has the most brown bears in eastern Asia after Russia, with around 2,000–3,000 of them. 
Kodiak bears and grizzly bears that live mainly in Alaska, but also in parts of Canada. They are the largest and most numerous of the brown bear subspecies, with about 32,000 in Alaska alone. Other populations in the lower 48 states are much smaller and isolated, with only around 1,500 bears in total. The last California grizzly was seen in 1924 and none have been found since.
