Sea Bear

Sea Bear (Aquapursus pacificus) is a marine semi-aquatic species of bear that is descended from a group of surviving short faced bears that evolved into sea-dwelling animals. They are native to much of the shorelines across the western North America, even in California, where they are overabundant due to conservation protecting all native species. They have robust heads with noses and eyes above their heads to see above water while swimming in a similar manner to hippopotamuses. They are also among the largest bear alive today, about the same size as a vulturine bear, another modern descendant of short-faced bears. They are omnivores and mainly feed on seaweed, soft coral, sea urchins, scallops, clams, mussels, crabs, lobsters, shrimp, horseshoe crab eggs, small fish, salmon, sea bass, skates, bird eggs, and carrion. Unlike most bear species, sea bears are completely peaceful/gentle and seem tame towards any sapient species/beings. They are listed as Least Concern as they aren't threatened by human activities of any sort and can readily adapt very well to human settlements due to their tame nature towards sapient species/beings and can easily find any large animal carcasses in human settlements.
