Comment on TIL that Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is the bearest of all bears – "ursus" means bear, and "arctos" also means bear, so the scientific name translates to "Bear bear bear"

I found it also interesting that arctos is related to Arctic. Because it was also used to mean “north” or “near the bear”
