A Kermode bear cub huddling with its sibling in Canada's Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia by Ian McAllister. Brothers rivalry! They’re very cute but we’re betting these two Kermode bear siblings are a handful (hang in there, mama bear!). Kermode bears are a subspecies of the American black bear, although they're obviously not always black. They have a recessive gene which sometimes results in cream or white fur. While most Kermode bears are black, scientists estimate that between 10 and 20 per cent of the population have ivory coats. Known as ‘spirit bears’, they are special to indigenous people of the British Columbia coastal regions in Canada where they live. Today is Siblings Day in the US, which celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters.

A resting grizzly bear cub in Lake Clark National Park, Cook Bay, Alaska Here's Snoozy, The Bear!  Like the snoring little grizzly bear in this picture, we guess you may feel tired after losing an hour of sleep before daylight saving time begins.  So, we give you a good reason to snore-today is a national siesta day.  This sleep-inducing day was created in 1999 by Boston University professor William Anthony and always happens on Mondays after the "leap forward."  "The idea is that even if it's just an hour less sleep, most of us need to sleep more." If this sentence describes you, then maybe it's time to try taking a nap.
