In the new update they can collect double the honey from beehives and the bees don't damage the bear. P's they're also getting a new model

BEAR trap does not work on him

If you guys are wanting to have a really strong tank of a Dino, then definitely get a direbear. I have a level 67 bear and she is an absolute unit!!! She has 2,064 hp and she has over 300% melee damage, and she is my beloved baby. I have found a max level male bear in the redwoods and he’s beautiful; black on top and white on bottom. I am really wanting to breed them…but I’m worried about what things it’ll need though. So I gotta hope and pray that it doesn’t want something crazy. Wish me the best of luck everyone!!!

USE DARTS, arrows will usually kill it before it knocks out

Faster than a giga, strong as a rex, with some levels can get to 1k carry, can gather and eat both berries and meat,can even gather fiber, if you tame a high level one you have a super gathering and combat mount. Unmatched in utility.

Every dino you must have

Anky the living pickaxe (metal, obsidian)

Doedicurus the living axe (stone mostly)

Dire bear the living sickle (fiber, that pretty much it)

Argy the litteral cargo on ark (litterly lots of weight reduction)

Castoroides the ark lumberjack (woods)

Trike the soil master (tatch, berries)

Dire wolf the living tannery (hde, pelt, chitin)

Tyranosaurus rex the ark butcher (meat, prime meat, mutton)

Their level up animation is the cutest🖤

For everyone complaining that bear traps don’t work on this creature, this bear is much larger than a bear today. As the description reads “Immobilizes humans and SMALL creatures” there is a giant bear trap you can use for bigger creatures. - Apollyon

How to tame on of these :

I recommend using a trap since they run pretty fast and possibly into something dangerous. So let's go!

Step 1: Bring around 100 TranqArrows. Should be enough, depending on the level and your aim :'). Also make sure to bring something to keep him sleeping, depending on your settings.

Step 2: The trap. The basic 4 stone foundations, 8 doorframes and 2 stairs. You build 2x2 fountains and put all doorframes on it. Then build the stairs so you can walk on it.

Step 3 : Find a Freddy Fazbear you like to tame.

Step 4: Build the trap near your bear.

Step 5: Shoot the bear and lure him into the trap.

Step 6: Shoot it SLOWLY. It hasn't got much health and TranqArrows do 'a lot of damage'. Wait like a minute for each shoot when it starts bleeding.

Step 7: Feed it when it's knocked out. It eats kibble, meat, honey and berries.

Step 8: Have fun with your tame :)

These things are absolute beasts, they do insane damage, grind like a boss, and gain momentum while sprinting, to tame these, get a mount which allows rider weaponry and invest decent amount of health in it. Then let it aggro on you and start tranquilizing them ( rifle advised since x-bow may kill it ).

Its torpor run isn't that annoying so just knock it, feed it, then wreck the island's almost every bit( gigas and titans are exceptions ). Up if this helped.
