The nickname of the Swiss capital Bern is the Bear City, the first raccoon the Earl gave when he built it. The bears are everywhere in Bern. The cantonal flag of the canton of Bern is a black bear. There is a bear garden at the entrance of Bern, with brown bears and black bears. The square is a wood carving of the bear garden. The wire above the main street is a bear sculpture.
