Do not try to run away from it into the water, because this bear can swim. It can be [[taming|tamed]] with meat or fish (15+ taming skill recommended). Since brown bears can swim, one in the water is sometimes referred to as a Bearshark.== Description Notes==A huntable * Brown bears can only be hitched up to the [[animalsage|animallast Aged stage]].
