∙ 11y agoThere are several species of bear belonging to the genus Ursus, which is related to the Latin word for 'bear'. A genus is the name of the group just larger than a species, so it is a little more inclusive. The most common kinds of bears belong to the genus Ursa, and their species names are unique: Brown bears are called Ursus arctos. In this case, arctos is the species name of the Brown bear. Polar bears are called Ursus maritimus, Black bears are called Ursus americanus.
In short, the species of a bear depends on the variety.
If you wanted the name of the group that contains every type of bear, it is the family Ursidae. Every bear on the planet belongs in this group.
