Ursaring (Japanese: リングマ Ringuma; German: Ursaring; French: Ursaring) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald
In forests, it is said that there are many streams and towering trees where an Ursaring gathers food. It walks through its forest collecting food every day.

Name origin

Ursaring's name is a combination of ursa, the Latin word for bear, and ring, referring to the circle on its stomach. Its Japanese name is a combination of English ring and 熊 kuma, bear.

Ursaring is based on the Sun Bear of Southeast Asian rainforests. Dark brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. This distinct marking gives the sun bear its name.

Sun bears possess sickle-shaped claws that are relatively light in weight. They have large paws with naked soles, probably to assist in climbing. Their inward-turned feet make the bears walk pigeon-toed, but they are excellent climbers.

They have small, round ears and a short muzzle.

As primarily nocturnal creatures, the Sun Bears tend to rest during the day on lower limbs not far above the ground. Because they spend so much time in trees, Sun Bears can sometimes cause a good amount of damage to private property. They have been known to destroy coconut palms and cocoa trees on plantations. Hunting of nuisance bears is a major cause for the recent decline in the sun bear population, as well as poaching for its fur and for use in Chinese medicine.
