The term 'bear' describes either male or female bears. Infant bears, male or female, are called 'cubs'.

Other terms used in English to indicate the sex of an adult bear are 'boar' (male) or 'sow' (female), as well as 'he-bear' or 'she-bear' (cubs are also sometimes referred to as 'he-cubs' or 'she-cubs').

A group of bears can be referred to as a 'sleuth' or 'sloth'.

The adjective, 'ursine' applies to either sex of bear; the word can be traced back to Latin, ursus, meaning 'a bear'. 'A koala might appear to show ursine characteristics, but it is a marsupial, and not related to any species of bear.'
A female bear is referred to as a sow.
