ST. LOUIS , March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (NYSE: BBW) recently reported fiscal 2022 as its most profitable year in the company's history following its previously most profitable year in fiscal 2021.

Modern brown bears first appeared in Asia during the Middle Pleistocene Epoch and then spread to North America and Europe, even reaching northern Africa. A population of brown bears that lived along the coast became specialized for hunting seals, eventually evolving into the polar bear around 700,000 years ago.

Bears are mammals that belong to the family Ursidae. They can be as small as four feet long and about 60 pounds (the sun bear) to as big as eight feet long and more than a thousand pounds (the polar bear). They're found throughout North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

Patience and persistence: Bears are known for their patience and persistence when it comes to hunting and gathering food. They know that success doesn't come overnight and are willing to put in the time and effort required to achieve their goals.
