Bears play without vocalizing. One of their favourite plays is jawing – sparring with their open mouths almost touching. Bears communicate through play and relay information by “gaping,” opening its jaws wide in close proximity to another bear’s face. Play is quiet, and play-bites are gentle, peaceful, non-threatening exchanges. Young bears love to play to have fun and to teach themselves survival skills.
