Each leader is based on one of the eight species of wild bear. If you're not familiar with the different species, you soon will be! Think you can work out which leader represents which wild bear? Delve deeper in to the site and you'll find out!

When your teddy bear joins The Bear Club, you are given the opportunity to join one of the Clans. Each has it's own distinct personality and characteristics. Just see which best match those of your teddy and then make your decision.... you join a club within a club!

When viewing other Profiles and Bear Blogs, you can see which Clan other teddies belong to. You can even choose to view other teddies according to which Clan group they belong. I wonder which Clan is currently the most popular?


You will be able to read about the latest adventures of the Clan Leaders (and me!) in our Stories section. Read the very first story in the series to find out how we all became such good friends....and read more to find out some of the other crazy times we have had together!

Why not be creative and write a story or poem about your favourite Clan Leader (or wild bear...or me)? Or you could unleash the artist in you and produce a drawing, painting or digital image of anything bear related! Enter one of our competitions and you could win yourself a prize, not to mention the warm fuzzy feeling of basking in the satisfaction of having your entry showcased on the website!

If you want to show the rest of the world which Clan you belong to, then you can buy a whole range of Clan or tbc merchandise from our online shop. You can even buy stuff with me on! We have a huge range of different products available for 'Pawtners' of all ages.
