How much do you know about Smokey?
    Look at these pictures. This bear is not created by an animation company. The Smokey Bear is an American bear, which lives in the US. His favorite clothes are Smokey Bear hat, blue jeans and belt. Smokey Bear is frequently seen standing upright, with feet planted on the ground and a shovel in hand. 

    The cartoon Smokey Bear is based on an actual baby black bear that was found alone, hurt and scared after a wildfire in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico. During one of the lulls in fire fighting, a lonely bear cub had been seen wandering near the fire line. But the crew left him alone because they thought the mother bear might come for him. Afterward, they found the little cub had been caught and had taken refuge in a charred smoking snag. His climb had saved his life but his paws and hind legs were badly burned. In the end, the cub needsed a veterinarian and was flown away in a small plane to treat.

    The news about the little bear spread around swiftly. The officials decided that the little bear shoulded  be dedicated to publicize the fire prevention and conservation. The little bear became the living symbol of Smokey Bear and found his new home at the National Zoo in Washington, DC.
    His favorite saying is "Only you can prevent forest fires."
