This bear is distinct from all other bears, with only a few facial hairs on his chin and growing down from his shades arm on the side of his face. His fur strangely grew in a camouflaged pattern in the late 90's. Not quite your desert storm or Vietnam styled cammo, but a more of a contemporary style that lets him blend in- well just about anywhere!

Most people like the Big Bear and try to give him a hug. He can't lean over and hug everbody, but is always happy to receive a teddy from someone young, or old, for Bearification. Audiences across Australia and Europe have not always seen a Bear as tall as this one, so sometimes there is a little tear from the scaredy bears, or a fallen Bear to make erect, or in extreme triggering situations there has been trips and punches and cans and objects thrown up at him!...Even tackled at the Newtown festival in 2002! Don't do that please. The audience is likely to tackle you! Stilt walker etiquette is common sense.
