In popular culture

A Pine Marten, named Psispinia, is referred to in Louis de Bernières 1994 novel "Captain Corelli's Mandolin".

Edit request on 7 December 2011

Hi, I just watched a BBC entertainment program 'Expedition Tiger' where it was recorded that tigers can live upto 4100 metres. The cameraman Gordon on the program recorded via camera traps existence of a female adult tigress and a male adult at 4100 meters in Bhutan in the himalayan hills. This may prove very important to establish a tiger corridor across the himalayas as a saving effort. Please include this as part of the wiki information. thanks, Roshan.

Collapsed state?

I have arrived from the Gray wolf page where this template is not collapsed.
The flag appears to be set here, however I am not seeing what is wrong over at Gray wolf.
You will probably see the cause immediately.

Edit request re: subspecies

1) Please remove the bear subspecies from this template; it is already overloaded with species. Please change this:

 | group5 = ''[[Ursus (genus)|Ursus]]''
 | list5  =
* [[American black bear|American black bear (''U. americanus'')]]
* [[Florida black bear|Florida black bear (''U. americans floridanus'')]]
* [[Kermode bear|Kermode bear (''U. americanus kermodei'')]]
* [[Brown bear|Brown bear (''U. arctos'')]]
* [[Eurasian brown bear|Eurasian brown bear (''U. arctos arctos'')]]
* [[Kamchatka brown bear|Kamchatka brown bear (''U. arctos beringianus'')]]
* [[East Siberian brown bear|East Siberian brown bear (''U. arctos collaris'')]]
* [[Himalayan brown bear|Himalayan brown bear (''U. arctos isabellinus'')]]
* [[Ussuri brown bear|Ussuri brown bear (''U. arctos lasiotus'')]]
* [[Marsican brown bear|Marsican brown bear (''U. arctos marsicanus'')]]
* [[Grizzly bear|Grizzly bear (''U. arctos ssp.'')]]
* [[Syrian brown bear|Syrian brown bear (''U. arctos syriacus'')]]
* [[Kodiak bear|Kodiak bear (''U. arctos middendorffi'')]]
* [[Tibetan blue bear|Tibetan blue bear (''U. arctos pruinosus'')]]
* [[Polar bear|Polar bear (''U. maritimus'')]]
* [[Asian black bear|Asian black bear (''U. thibetanus'')]]

to this:

 | group5 = ''[[Ursus (genus)|Ursus]]''
 | list5  =
* [[American black bear|American black bear (''U. americanus'')]]
* [[Brown bear|Brown bear (''U. arctos'')]]
* [[Polar bear|Polar bear (''U. maritimus'')]]
* [[Asian black bear|Asian black bear (''U. thibetanus'')]]

Done — Seems consistent and reasonable; please feel free to revert and discuss. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 19:30, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

2) I created a template for the brown bear subspecies; please move Template talk:Carnivora/Arctos to Template:Arctos and delete the redirect. (The 2 black bear subspecies are not on any template and are fine just being in the "See also" section of the black bear page.)

Done — I updated the text in the doc for this template as well, feel free to reword. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 19:41, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

• Tanks. @ErikHaugen:, the Grizzly bear article is semi'd, too. Would you swap out {{Carnivora}} with {{Arctos}} for me? Rgrds. --64.85.215.198 (talk) 20:05, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

  ok done; I wonder if both templates might be better on those articles? ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 22:38, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

• Thought about that, but somewhere it says having a template on a page that said template doesn't link to is discouraged. I am of the belief that the fewer the templates the better, and since these templates are somewhat hierarchical (class, order, species), it was just a judgement call. BRD applies as always.
