Mama Bear (Elviry in the comics) is the mother of Junior Bear and the wife of Papa Bear. Mama Bear is a mild-mannered, innocent, long-suffering, intelligent and deadpan bear, although she often resorts to thwacking Pap or Junior, one of them with a rolled-up newspaper to keep the peace. She usually tries to tell Henry something important, but Henry just tells her to "shut up" and does not listen. The only member to wear shoes, she wears a pink hat, a blue dress, and red slippers.
