Moesha got it! It was:


Male and female bears are known as boars and sows, despite being about
as closely related to pigs as koalas are to bears, or pandas are to
cats. The bear family's closest relatives are actually dogs, but one
thing they do share with pigs is an omnivorous diet * most are as happy
snacking on plants and fruit as they are gnawing on the leg of an elk.


From The Book of Animal Ignorance

I sent a PM to ChrisH, the highest point-getter, to see if she'd want to do the next one.

I thought this was a really interesting fact - dogs and bears being so closely related. The Book of Animal Ignorance is a new book, coming out this month from Crown Publishing - http://crownpublishing.com .
