• All Bears  - These lists includes all stamps featuring any kind of bear (except WWF Panda logo stamps). NOTE:  Koala bears are not really "bears" and thus will not appear on my lists.  I do, however, list Lesser Pandas and Pandas despite the controversy of whether or not these are really bears.
   
• Black Bears - This list includes anything that looks like a black bear.
   
• Brown Bears - This list includes anything that looks like a brown bear, and any bear I can't classify.
   
• Lesser Pandas - This list includes anything that looks like a lesser panda.
   
• Pandas - This list includes anything that looks like a panda.
   
• Polar Bears - This list includes anything that looks like a polar or white bear.
   
• Prehistoric / Extinct Bears - This list includes anything that looks like a prehistoric or extinct bear.
   
• Sloth - This list includes anything that looks like a sloth bear.
   
• Spectacled Bears - This list includes anything that looks like a spectacled bear.
   
• Sun Bears - This list includes anything that looks like a sun bear.

• Teddy/Toy Bears - This list includes anything that looks like a teddy or toy bear.

• Cartoon/Fictional Bears - This list includes any bear that is a cartoon character or illustrates a fictional character or mascot.  Examples include Winnie the Pooh, "The Three Bears", etc.
   
• "Official" Bears - This list includes bears that are on official symbols of countries, states or cities, such as the Berlin Bear and bears on coats of arms, flags, etc.   
   
• Bears in Art and Artifacts - This list includes bears in paintings, sculptures, jewelry, etc.
   
• Bears on Postal Stationary - This list includes any officially released postal stationary item with a bear anywhere on it.
   
• "Illegal" Bear Issues - In an effort to inform collectors of bear stamps about illegal issues which may be found for sale online and at some stamp shows, I am attempting to keep up with illegal issue circulars as reported by the UPU. 
   
• WWF Panda Bear Logo Stamps - This list includes any World Wildlife Fund stamp issues that have the panda bear logo on them, but no other bear.  If the stamp also has a bear on it, it will be on the bears (animal) lists.  I do not collect these stamps, so this list may not be updated often.
   
• Special Bear Cancellations - This page contains information about cancellations/postmarks featuring bears.
   
• Image Gallery - This page lets you see the bear stamp images that I have.  Images are sorted by country.
   
• Common and Scientific Bear Names List

Important things to know about the lists:

• This is very subjective, so bear with me (no pun intended).  I tend to move stamps from one list to another or place them on multiple lists as I find appropriate.  I don't mean to confuse anybody, but this is a work in progress.  It's very hard to classify a stamp by only its catalog description if I haven't seen the real stamp.
• I list stamps that have bears as the main theme as well as stamps that don't (such as a teddy bear being held by a child). 
• Please double check the numbers before purchasing the stamps.  I have found mistakes in the past and there are probably more out there.
