Well, aren't you just a curious little critter! Bears and dogs do indeed have a common ancestor, which is a prehistoric mammal that lived millions of years ago. So, yes, in a roundabout way, they're distant relatives. But don't expect them to start sending each other Christmas cards anytime soon.
What else can I help you with?
Are bears, cats, or dogs the most common household pets?
Dogs are the most common household pets, followed by cats and then bears.
Why is DNA of cats and dogs more similar than DNA of cats and hamsters?
Cats and dogs have a more recent common ancestor in evolutionary history compared to cats and hamsters. This means that they have had less time for genetic differences to accumulate, resulting in more similar DNA between cats and dogs than cats and hamsters.
Are bears, dogs, or cats the most common pets in households around the world?
Dogs are the most common pets in households around the world.
What type of animal was the common ancestor of mammals and birds?

Which two goups of animals have a more recent common ancestor?
Dogs and wolves have a more recent common ancestor.
Do panda bears come from raccoons?
Giant Pandas have the same ancestor as Raccoons, but are in the Bear Clade. Lesser Pandas are in the Raccoon Clade, and all Bears, Raccoons, and Dogs have a common ancestor. Giant Pandas are closely related to Raccoons, more related than any other species in the Bear Clade.
Are bears, cats, or dogs the most common household pets?

Why is the cephalogale an ancestor to the polar bear?
Cephalogale was a primitive, superficially raccoon-like animal that gave rise to both the "bear-dogs" of the family Hemicyonidae, and to Ursavus, the immediate ancestor of all true bears, including grizzly bears, polar bears and giant pandas.
That crocodiles share a common ancestor with bird dolphins and dog support your answer?
Crocodiles and birds share a common ancestor. This can be seen by comparing the internal anatomy of the two. Dogs and Dolphins also have a common ancestor. Their skeletons again are both distinctly mammillian. The ancestor of dogs and dolphins and the ancestor of birds and crocodiles will again share a common ancestor, but you will need to go much further back. I am not sure of the timescales but we are talking tens to hundreds of million years.
Why is DNA of cats and dogs more similar than DNA of cats and hamsters?
Cats and dogs have a more recent common ancestor in evolutionary history compared to cats and hamsters. This means that they have had less time for genetic differences to accumulate, resulting in more similar DNA between cats and dogs than cats and hamsters.
How many classification groups do dogs and bears have in common?
Bears and dogs(or any canine) are in the same classification up to 'Order', where bears split off as Ursidae and dogs become Canidae for the family. So bears and dogs are both: Kingdom:Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammallia Order: Carnivora And that's all they have in common.
Name the last level at which dogs and humans shared a common ancestor?
The last common ancestor of dogs and humans lived approximately 95 million years ago, during the Cretaceous Period. This ancestor was a small mammal that was neither a dog nor a human, but was a distant relative of both species.
Are pandas bears or raccoons?
Scientists finally tested the genes from a panda to determine pandas are actually a species of bear. They are the rarest of bears, and found around the wilderness of China, which is currently disappearing due to human encroachment. Giant Pandas in the Bear Clade, and Lesser Pandas(Red Pandas)are in the Raccoon Clade. Bears, Raccoons, and Dogs have a common ancestor.
Do crocodiles share a common ancestor with dogs?
That seems very likely since everything is interelated.
