Abstract / Description of output

Bears belong to the order Carnivora, suborder Caniformia. Caniformia means "doglike". Their family is called Ursidae. Modern bears comprise eight species in three subfamilies: Ailuropodinae (monotypic with the giant panda), Tremarctinae (monotypic with the Andean spectacled bear), and Ursinae (containing six species: brown bear, American black bear, Polar bear, Asiatic black bear, sloth bear, sun bear). Bears' closest living relatives are the pinnipeds, canids, and musteloids (Wesley-Hunt and Flynn 2005).
