Did you know: In America, the "teddy bear" reportedly got its start from a cartoon showing President Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a baby bear. According to the tale, Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt was trying to settle a dispute between that Mississippi and Louisiana and his hosts took him bear hunting. The hunting was so poor that someone finally captured a bear and invited Roosevelt to shoot it. Roosevelt's refusal to fire at such a helpless target inspired a cartoonist to draw his cartoon with its play on the way Roosevelt was drawing a line about refusing to shoot a captive animal.
