What is the phrase 'baby bear' when translated from English to Japanese?

Answer 1

熊 (kuma) is the Japanese word for "bear" and we can attach 子 (ko) to indicate "child", thus 子熊 (kokuma) would mean "child bear" or "cub". Other instances where this is done is with puppy (子犬, koinu) and kitten (子猫, koneko).
