Question: are bears part of the pig family?
Answer: Bears are not part of the pig family. They are both mammals, but bears are from the order Carnivora and family Ursidae, and pigs are from the order Arteriodactyla (even-toed ungulates, even numbers of hoof parts per foot) and the family Suidae. Think about it. Bears have paws and claws; pigs have hooves.
