The Bear is a large animal that can be allegedly found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Players believe that there was originally going to be a Bear in the beta version of GTA San Andreas, but it was removed from the final version. Textures and models of a bear have been found inside the game's internal files, but there is no information as to where the bear was originally set to spawn. Also, the bear has no walking animation. There appears to be a large 3D texture model of a bear in the game's internal files, and it closely resembles a real-life Brown Bear. Rockstar removed the bear from the final version of the game for unknown reasons. It's possible that Rockstar could not properly program animal AI, so for that reason, bears and other similar animals were left out of the game.
Many skeptics of Bigfoot have made a connection between Bigfoot and Bears, and they have even claimed that bears actually exist in the game, but players mistake them for Bigfoot.
On top of the Epsilon Cult Farm in Flint County, there is a small decorative weather vane that appears to be in the shape of a bear. The weather vane is positioned at the roof of the farm house, and can be spotted easily from the ground. This led to much speculation within the GTA community about its significance or if it had anything to do with the already existing bear myth. This weather vane can also be found on the nearby Flint County Safehouse as well, since both the Cult Farm and the Safehouse use the same farm house model. Nevertheless, some players insist that the weather vane appears to be in the shape of cattle.
There have been rumors that players have seen bears throughout the San Andreas countryside, but these rumors are false. It has been proven that bear models exist in the game files, but they have no proper walking animation; The only way to make bears spawn in the game is to switch a pedestrian's texture with the texture of the bear, but if the player does this, the bear's model will appear severely deformed and disproportional.
Grand Theft Auto V
Before the game's release, players have speculated that Bears would appear in GTA V. Thus far, there is no proof to back up that bears are within the game, and not even a single bear can be seen during gameplay.
One myth is that they can be rarely found at Lago Zancudo, due to the fact that they are mentioned on a tourist information board here as being part of the local wildlife.
