>>512600597>bears can and never will be domesticated. They are enemies. Beasts of the wilderness. Stop being brainwashed by tik tokers.I'm pretty sure they could be, they already exhibit the same domestication behaviour as dogs, ergo hanging around humans for food, bringing humans things in exchange for food, warding off predators around human dwellings etc
It'd take an entire town and probably 5-10 generations of consistent and intentional domestication and selective breeding to achieve though.
When I was a kid/teen we spent a lot of time in Alaska (My dad worked in Juneau and the surrounds) and there were blokes with semi domesticated bears that they'd known for generations, they'd known the mother, and the mother had brought the cubs around, then they'd grown up alongside the cubs who then came back and repeated the process with their cubs.
I would say though that even if you could domesticate them, at the end of the day they're way bigger, stronger and more dangerous than a human, so you run into the pitbull problem x 10.
