If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too.

Your cubs are born while you're asleep, and you know nothing about it until you wake up in the spring. They've also completely taken care of themselves until then. Hey, sounds like a winner to me!

If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you can swat them too. I could deal with that.
