When I think of the phrase “Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See”, I think of a beloved children’s book about the animals of the woods. Some of the most common animals featured in the book are the brown bear, red bird, blue horse, and grey mouse. This book has been around for many years and is a popular read for young kids.
Brown Bear
The brown bear is a staple animal in the book and is featured on the cover as well. This species of bear can be found in the wild in North America and Eurasia, and is one of the largest land mammals in the world. On average, brown bears weigh between six hundred and nine hundred pounds and measure between five and nine feet long. They have thick fur coats that can vary between colors, ranging from light brown to nearly black.
Red Bird
The red bird is one of the animals featured in the book, and can actually be found in the wild, too. It is an American robin, which is a species native to North America. American robins can grow up to eleven inches in length and typically weigh from two and a half to four ounces. Their feathers are typically a deep reddish-brown color, and they also have a bright yellow-orange beak and legs.
Blue Horse
The blue horse is another animal featured in the book and can also be found in the wild. The animal featured in the book is actually a grey horse that has been painted blue. In the wild, a grey horse is typically born a lighter shade of gray, and over time its coat will darken as it grows older. A grey horse can live up to thirty years in the wild. Grey horses rarely ever have blue or purple coats, or any other “odd” colors.
Grey Mouse
The grey mouse is one of the animals featured in the book, and can also be found in the wild. The species of mouse featured in the book is called the house mouse, which is the most common species of mouse found across the world. House mice typically weigh between one and twelve ounces, and live up to two years in the wild. They typically have a light grey or brown coat, and are around three to five inches in length.
Yellow Duck
The yellow duck is one of the animals featured in the book, and can also be found in the wild. The species of duck featured in the book is actually the mallard, which is one of the most common ducks in the world. A mallard can grow up to twenty-seven inches in length, and usually weigh between one and two pounds. They have a bright green head and a bright yellow bill with a deep brown body.
