The bear cat was in ... The Pit. Metal walls, sunk well below the ground. One could look down at it, but it was like Super Max Solitary compared to the tiger.
Closest living relative to the wolverine.
Do not mess with bear cat.

I just recall having never heard of a bear cat previously, and then looking up information about them later
