Ursaring are tall, | Ursaring are tall, bear-like Pokémon that stand at about {{tt|5′11″|1.8m}}. Ursaring have brown fur covering their bodies, except for their black-nosed muzzles, ear insides, the paw pads on their feet and a ring on their trunk which are all a light tan. The fur on Ursaring’s shoulders is shaggier compared to the rest of the fur on Ursaring’s body, to the extent that they resemble {{wp|epaulette}}s. They usually stand on their short, three-clawed back feet and seem to be mostly bipedal, using their long, clawed forelegs to climb trees or collect food. As in their pre-evolution, they have small, ball-like tails. | ||

They also have an excellent sense of smell and use it to find and dig up food buried deep underground. They have been observed scratching trees, leaving marks which show that they bear good fruit. Despite their large size, they are able to find food and sleep in the treetops, although they still prefer to snap trees with their forelegs and eat the fallen Berries. | Ursaring are known for their food-collecting habits; they often walk through forests in the mornings to collect Berries.

However, there has been no documented evidence backing this claim. | ||
