wild animals are never 100% tamed, you can raise one, but never let your guard down because the wild is in them and it will be forever.

The bear would be slightly tamed; it would still have its wild nature. The bear would love its mother like any child would, but the bear wouldn't know the difference between a human and a bear. So at some point it will get too rough with its parents and hurt them.

Taming an animal is not the work of one generation or even a few. It takes many generations to tame an animal. Long enough for the animal to understand what a human is and that the human has to be treated differently than it would treat its own kind.

Wolves are very close to dogs and many wolves have been tamed. But, they are never completely tamed and when it comes breeding time they could run off to join a pack.

This is why it is so dangerous to care for wild animals. Even if you hand raise one the animal still has the wild instincts of its ancestors and those instincts will surface at some point. Usually, in time to hurt the person who raised them and thinks that the animal can be trusted.

Raising a black bear, or any bear sounds like a great idea, but it is not. At some point that bear will want to mate (even if they are fixed, the instinct will still be there), or it will play too rough with its "parents." When that happens the bear injures the human, maybe even kills them.

It could be tame. However, there is something you need to know. The asiatic black bear causes more injuries to trainers than any other kind of bear. They tend to be much more tempermental than other bears. I suggest you try a different animal.

Wild animals generally make poor pets for several reasons.

1. They tend to have very high fight or flight respnses. This causes them to either run away in a panic or lash out when frightened even accidentally. I know a man who had to replace the front end of his truck because a bison decided to fight instead of flee at the sight of his headlights. (He had driven in the field many times but never at night with his headlights on.

2. Their behaviors are often triggered by unexpected stimuli. An example is a man I know who raised a bison calf by bottle. It was a big pet. But one day when the bison was about half grown, the man bent over to pick up a bit of trash in the lawn. This triggered the stimuli to fight. The bison charged and rolled him over and over on the ground, breaking nearly every bone in his body in the process. The only thing that saved his life was his son was just coming down the drivway, saw what happened, and yelled at the bison to distract him. Once distracted he went back to feeding.

3. Wild animals have nutritional needs that are often different from similar domestic animals, therefore they can be hard to care for.

4. Wild animals raised in captivity can seldom be returned to the wild. Therefore you are talking a long term comitment that you may not be able or willing to keep.

5. Finally even if you know how to treat them friends and family may not. You would be jeopardising them.

There are wild animals that dan and do make good pets. Provided you know how to care for them. Bears are not one of them.

A bear is a wild animal that has not been domesticated over thousands of years like cats/dogs and when it grows up, it will have all of it's wild instincts. I'm not sure how big an asiatic bear gets, but I'm sure it would cause serious damage, maybe even death.

A bear is a really big animal.

I have a white rabbit. It will stand up and beg for a bananna. run through a small hoop on command. Other tricks too.

But, when she grunts, thumps and charges; even I get a little freaked out.

She is only as big as a Chiuahua, or cat, but she is still wild inside.

It depends how young it was when it was first in captivity, and methods used to train it. I guess anythings possible, they have trained bears before for the circus and stuff. But I wouldn't reccomend it, animals are unpredictable, and can still retain natural instinct even when trained. Look at Seigfried and Roy.

Do a information seek approximately Knut, he became into lovable as somewhat one yet he's transforming into as much as be a brute. he's not intentionally hurting every physique, yet seeing as he's a lot more suitable than his keepers, they might desire to maintain their distance in play time. lots of the activities they did with him while he became right into a cub became into to coach him life skills, in basic terms like mom bears fidgeting with cubs, or different cubs enjoying at the same time. Animals use play as education for later in life, to collect useful skills. Animals in Zoos are waiting to be dealt with, yet its greater of a necessity for the animal than for relaxing for the keepers. Its much less complicated to maintain song of the wellbeing of a captive animal in case you may cope with it, than to sedate it and wade with the aid of that stress. i individually observed the panda from the nationwide Zoo in D.C. rolling over to get an ultrasound, willingly, on television the different day. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it exceedingly a lot comes all the way down to, its a wild animal and it takes generations upon generations of captive breeding, handling, and eliminating the animal from its interior of reach habitat to create a 'better half and infants' animal. in basic terms being raised with the aid of human beings doesnt recommend at some point knut won't think of that his keeper is achieveable to his territory, or his food, or desire to comprehend what the keeper tastes like.
