It is a wonder that such a fierce and giant animal could become so huggable and lovable. That is what teddy bears have done to transform an otherwise menacing mammal to a gentle companion especially to children during sleep. We are referring of course to the teddy bear stuffed toy that has been with us for more than a century, and possibly every child or household must have owned or at least heard about the cuddly toy. cute teddy bear names
