An artist taking part in an alphabet-themed art challenge is highlighting that the grizzly bear's scientific name, Ursus arctos horribilis, literally translates as 'bear bear terrible'. The fun fact is being shared alongside an open invitation for others to post artwork of anything starting with the letter U, as part of a relaxed, human-made art challenge that bans AI-generated work and encourages accessible image descriptions.
Why now: The amusing literal translation of the grizzly bear's Latin name is entertaining, and the open art challenge invites participation.
