Aarto

Trivia

Denominated 'Aarto' by his keeper.

Inherently solitary but rarely hostile beyond defencive interests. Early habituation to other species may have bolstered this tolerance.

Typically maintains a 'critical space' which, if impeded upon, can mean abrupt retaliation.

Intelligent and can enumerate mathematically, recognise individuals with ease, and manipulate tools, barriers, or other parts of the surroundings with purpose.

Omnivorous, diet typically ranging from greenery to fruit to fungal and animal sources.

Meat comprises most of his diet, as is the same for other bears.

Typically kept an awareness of by his trainer.

Although livestock at times go missing because of a variety of factors, it is seen as better that he is not killed by a herder or farmhand.

Given or provided food at specific durations daily but supplies left unattended may disappear.

Familiar with various individuals and locations, being acclimated to and possibly cognisant of similar 'critical boundaries' others may possess.

Rarely led through populated areas, although persons local to the forest evidently are not fased at this duration.

Practices that still remain variably relevant involving the training of bears for festival performances evidently do not apply to this individual.

Docile, notably more than wild individuals.

Size and strength are yet not to be underestimated.

Occasionally may roll down snowy slopes during the winter in apparent play, if not push and spin objects or chase birds and insects in flight.

May relocate to a water source and splash intermittently.
