Talk:Ursus arctos horribilis

I'm not familiar enough with html to correct this entry, but to whom it may concern (and to whomever can edit it): This is not a Latin-Greek-Latin phrase ("horrible bear bear"?); the second word, "arctos," is Latin for "northern." The phrase means "horrible northern bear."
 * That's not quite correct. The Latin arctous: means "northern".  The word arctos in Latin was borrowed directly from Greek and refers to the "great bear (of the north)".  It is a noun in Latin. --EncycloPetey 02:56, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
