Subject: RE: BS: the world is going to the hogs
In an article about black bears in Alaska, I just read a persuasive statement.
From the perspective of classification, bears, although they are omnivores, are included with other animals with claws in their paws, such as wolves, lynxes, and wolverines, in the order Carnivora.
The classification of Artiodactyla includes pigs along with deer, goats, sheep, and giraffes which have hooves rather than paws.
